Day Seventeen and Eighteen: June 16th and 17th

Day Seventeen:

I gave a solo tour of the Marquette Harbor Lighthouse in the morning, it was a beautiful day outside! Thursday was also exciting because a person had arrived from our internet provider to install the internet cables. Unfortunately it took much longer than expected, so we did not have internet access until the next day. The reason I am so interested in having an internet connection, is because I will be able to begin researching the pictures and artifacts that I have chosen for the exhibits.

I also learned how to set up a long-term loan paperwork. A women donated a boat for the World War II McClintock/Darter-Dace Silent Service Memorial exhibit.

Day Eighteen: 

Friday I worked with Craig. The day was filled with the internet/cable guy finishing installing the wireless internet, and a tour from the 62nd Annual Upper Peninsula History Conference. Craig gave them a tour of the lighthouse and a member of our Board of Directors, Fred Stonehouse, talked to them about different aspects of the museum. About a quarter of the people from the History Conference wanted to purchase a postcard that showed the Marquette Harbor Lighthouse. 

I also typed up my proposal for the exhibits I am designing for the second floor of the lighthouse. Once the wireless internets was installed, I was able to begin to start researching information for the exhibits.
