We have some new graphic art prints and magnets in the shop created by photographer and designer, Marybeth Kiczenski. She created this design by request, from a recent photograph she took of McGulpin Point Lighthouse.

Marybeth stopped out and signed some of her prints today. We are proud to sell art and jewelry created by real people at the McGulpin Point gift shop!

Stop out and pick up a signed copy of Marybeth’s work, and check out the other local artists and small businesses we showcase. As always, proceeds from sales here support Emmet County’s maintenance and care of McGulpin Point Lighthouse.

Thanks, Marybeth!
