In the Spring of 2002, a small group of people gathered at the Pointe aux Barques Lighthouse. Their only desire was to clean the keeper's house to make it more presentable for visitors. The group decided, after this initial effort, that there was more work to be done. So a group was formed, a name was chosen, officers were appointed, by-laws were written, and a 501c3 non-profit corporation was formed. A Historical Structures Report (HSR), written through a grant from the State Historical Preservation Office (SHPO), was completed and furnished to the Huron County Road Commission (which manages Lighthoused Park). The HSR became guidelines for the Road Commission and the Society to follow in their vision of creating one of the finest lighthouse museums on the Great Lakes.
