Historic Beach Patrol Hike October 17, 2009

Fall was traditionally known as "shipwreck season" on the Great Lakes and to commemorate that, NPS rangers invite the public to join a costumed interpreter on an historic beach patrol in October. A US Life Saving Service surfman will meet visitors at the Maritime Museum in Glen Haven at 7:30 p.m. on Saturdays, October 11 and 18. First, he will share some local shipwreck stories and then, he will lead the group out into the dark to walk the beach and look for signs of a wreck.
