Tess Ulery, a St. Joseph City Commissioner, and Kate Ulery, Tessa’s mom, have both been integral to resuming the popular North Pier Lighthouse tours since the Heritage Museum closed. St. Joseph Today has now taken over that task and is now offering tours on Saturdays from 10 AM to 7 PM.
The ladies spoke about the fascinating history of the St. Joseph Lighthouse. The original lighthouse was established in 1832. A lighthouse was needed due to our shallow harbor and the need to transport the area’s fruits, vegetables, and lumber.
