GOP on 'RINO hunt' for Republicans who accept Trump lost A leading voice in the Michigan GOP has sought to move the party past claims that the presidential election was “stolen” from Donald Trump, acknowledging there was no evidence of widespread fraud. On Wednesday, he abruptly resigned.

The nonprofit group that cares for the lighthouse has a volunteer keeper program that allows people to sign up for overnight stays in the summer. It also offers visitors guided daytrip tours of the lighthouse that include a boat ride, a little exploring and a lot of information about this piece of working Great Lakes history.
