Lake Effect
Marblehead Lighthouse
Retired educator Sue Hartman has been tending to the Marblehead Lighthouse for years. As a member of the Marblehead Lighthouse Historical Society, she’s involved in day-to-day operations at the Marblehead Lighthouse State Park during the season as well as fund-raising and managing the park’s lifesaving station and museum. Let’s visit with Sue to find out more about the Great Lakes’ oldest continually operating lighthouse and the group that helps keep it one of the most popular tourism sites in the state.

Meet Your Host James Proffitt
James Proffitt moved north from Cincinnati to Marblehead in 2007 and says he’d never leave the lake. After nearly a decade as a Gannett reporter/photographer he’s now a freelance writer and the Lake Erie contributor for Detroit Public Television’s website, greatlakesnow.org. He writes about all things Lake Erie including conservation, recreation, wildlife, art and current events. His verse and fiction have appeared in numerous university and literary journals over the years. He looks forward to meeting new people and exploring their affinity for the lake through proximity, labor or simple love.
