EAGLE HARBOR, MI-- A former U.S. Coast Guard lifesaving station in Keweenaw County that played a role in hundreds of Lake Superior rescue missions has been converted into a museum.
Descendants of Coast guard personnel who served at the station in Eagle Harbor attended a grand opening ceremony this month, honoring those who risked their lives to protect imperiled boaters.
The station was established in 1912 and operated until 1950. The current building was constructed in 1939 and is filled with artifacts for the public to see. Surfboats and other equipment are among the items on display.
