Michigan- Lighthouse keepers were responsible for keeping the lamp lit, but the duties didn't stop there. The individuals employed as keepers maintained and improved the landscape, lighthouse, the lamp, and other outbuildings. In a place like Michigan Island, the isolation influenced nearly everything, from construction to gardening. Before each of Lake Superior’s lighthouses became automated, more than sixty women held positions of authority at many stations in the Great Lakes region.
