WATERMARK WILL NOT APPEAR ON PURCHASED PRODUCTS
Manistee’s catwalk, which is one of only five on the east coast of Lake Michigan, was transferred to the City of Manistee in January 1990 and refurbished in the early 1990s through a “Save the Catwalk” campaign, spearheaded by the local Chamber of Commerce. Clocks constructed of wood from the old catwalk were sold to raise money for the work.
In 2009, Manistee North Pierhead Lighthouse, deemed excess by the Coast Guard, was offered at no cost to eligible entities, including federal, state, and local agencies, non-profit corporations, and educational organizations under the provisions of the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000. The light was transferred to the City of Manistee and the Manistee County Historical Museum in a ceremony held at Fifth Avenue Beach on June 30, 2011. The museum is now responsible for restoring and maintaining the lighthouse.
