The Lighthouse Lowdown

Episode 40 - Grand Haven Lighthouses


Listen Later

Yes, plural! In this episode we cover a set of very different but equally stunning range lights on the Grand Haven South Pier. Listen in for how a foghorn building became a lighthouse, some incredible uses for reinforced concrete, and for our favorite unique light characteristics in action today (hint: we love red!).
