The restoration work was done by lampist Kurt Fosburg of Superior Lighthouse Restoration of Marquette, Michigan.

The lens restoration was the final step in a four year $3 million restoration project for the lighthouse. As we went to press, a special celebration was being planned for January 10-13 to honor the completed restoration and mark the 160th anniversary of lighthouse.
