GCHS and two things of importance


Two important things recently occurred for the GCHS.

The Sentinel Island Lighthouse was recently featured in VIA Magazine, the magazine of the AAA. In an article by Josh Sens entitled “Beautiful Beacons: Lighthouses of the Pacific Coast,” a short history of the light house was discussed. The adjacent scan shows an image of the lighthouse as it appeared in the print version of VIA Magazine.


Next, the Simone Machamer Charitable Fund donated $500 to the GCHS through the Juneau Community Foundation. This funding will be put toward preservation work at Sentinel Island Lighthouse. The GCHS is very grateful to both the Simone Machamer Charitable Fund and the Juneau Community Foundation for their generosity. If you would also like to contribute to helping preserve the lighthouse, please contact the GCHS.
