Officials are raising money for repairs and renovations on Grand Haven's two iconic lighthouses. The goal is to open both lighthouses to the public as museums and interpret them for educational purposes. President of the Grand Haven Lighthouse Conservancy says they will need to raise about a million dollars in the next couple of years. The fundraiser is expected to take place during Winter Fest in Grand Haven where live and silent auctions will be held. The Lighthouse Conservancy plans to open the lighthouses in 2021.
