The North Point Lighthouse Friends worked for more than ten years to develop the funding and plan to restore and revitalize this Milwaukee treasure without any financial impact on the community. With restoration complete, we now strive to bring maritime and Wisconsin history to the community, while attempting to build more engaged relationships with our visitors and in our role as a social asset in southeastern Wisconsin.

Light Hearted podcast episode 327 – Therese Langer Woelfel and “Our Guiding Light”

Therese Woelfel, who lives in Green Bay, Wisconsin, has held leadership roles in Fortune 500 companies, entrepreneurial endeavors, and non-profit organizations. Her new book, "Our Guiding Light," is her first non-fiction work. Therese’s grandfather, Charles A. Linsmeier, was a Lighthouse Service keeper at several stations on the Great Lakes from 1920 to 1953. The book tells the story of Linsmeier’s daughter Vivian, who was Therese’s mother.

Here’s an excerpt from the book description: “A lighthouse doesn’t calm the storm. It simply reminds you where the shore is and says, ‘You are being cared for and watched over.’ From her parents and the other lighthouse keepers they knew, Vivian learned some of the most valuable lessons of her life: honesty and service to others. As she navigated her life, living through the Great Depression and World War II, standing up to social injustice, and raising eight children, she surrendered to the divine and allowed herself to be watched over. In turn, she was able to be a steady beacon of light and hope for those who encountered life storms.”
