Local productions are important to the region and we know that you value that type of programming. That's why we're excited to announce our next local project – a three-part series coming this fall titled Illuminating the Great Lakes: Lighthouses of Lake Erie. Continuing our long tradition of examining the history and culture of Northwest and West Central Ohio, this new documentary explores the significance of eight lighthouses that dot the shoreline of Lake Erie. Stretching from the Toledo Harbor Lighthouse to the Fairport Harbor Lighthouse, we'll shine a light on these amazing structures and share how they came to be. You'll learn about the hardworking individuals who helped construct these beacons as well as those who are devoted to maintaining them. We'll be your tour guide for those lighthouses that are open to the public as well as those that you can admire only from a distance.
Now, here's your chance to be a part of preserving history and bringing these stories to life. We've all heard the phrase. "This program is made possible by viewers like you." Now you can make that statement a reality. Best of all, you'll even get your your name in the credits as a “Special Supporter.”
Make a donation below in support of our newest docuseries, or to request a pledge form, please email donor@wbgu.org or call 419-372-2700. You have until Aug. 15 to have your name permanently attached to this program.
Thank you for your continued support. We hope to see your name in the credits!
