A Place Called Presque Isle - A history of the Lights of Presque Isle

A Place Called Presque Isle

Janet Young's family has been a part of Presque Isle for three generations. Janet herself has long been fascinated with the history of this "almost island" and has spent years researching the places and personalities which have made Presque Isle such a fascinating and lively locale.  Now Janet has pulled  together this remarkable fund of information in a book entitled A Place Called Presque Isle.  She helps you explore the history of Presque Isle Harbor, East Grand Lake, the community of Bell, and other locations on the peninsula.  She also introduces you to the men and women who kept the lights burning at the Old and New Lighthouses and the Harbor Range Light.  Janet's book was published in late June and is available at the New Lighthouse Gift Shop. 

A review can be found on Goodreads as well.
