Exploring Sault Ste. Marie!

Wow! We're halfway through the week already! Have you registered for this week's Destination Prize Package to Sault Ste. Marie? Hope so...If not, the link is at the top of this page...CLICK IT! :)

Anyway...Yesterday we talked about the "Museum Ship Valley Camp", "River of History Museum", and the "Tower of History". Today we'll turn our focus to shipwrecks!

"The Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum"!

Visit the "Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum" at Historic Whitefish Point. The "Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum" is the only one of its kind, dedicated to the perils of maritime transport on the Great Lakes. It is fittingly located at Whitefish Point, site of the oldest active lighthouse on Lake Superior!

You'll experience a self-guided tour, with exhibits about Lake Superior's Shipwrecks, history of Whitefish Point, U.S. Lighthouse Service, and the Edmund Fitzgerald. Exhibits display actual artifacts, interpreted through paintings, descriptive narratives, and ship models. Also catch a 15-minute video, "Shipwreck: The Mystery of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and enjoy a guided tour of the 1861 Lightkeepers Quarters Building. There's even a new Underwater Research exhibit featuring new artwork in the Theatre Building.
