Carnegie fires and…read moredairies The first hint of a library in Ludington was in 1872 when a collection of books was shuffled around various places in the town. By 1877 a local hall served as a kind of permanent location but when the hall burned down the books once again became vagrants. Fortunately the incredibly wealthy Andrew Carnegie was tossing around zillions of dollars for libraries at this time and the town of Ludington managed to get their hands on some on the cash. So in 1906 and nice new library was built and stuffed with books and other libraries thingies. It served well until the town start expanding and the library became a bit cramped. So the library had a major expansion and renovation in 1975 and presently is in the process of planning for another spurt of growth. The Ludington Library had a bit of a scandal in 2011 when a librarian wrote a rather candid book called Library Dairies, which exposed what "really" goes on in a library, complete with local drunks, dossers, light skirts and perverts. She ended up getting fired but received a settlement after suing. I didn't see any drunks, dossers, light skirts or perverts when I was at the Ludington Library but I did see a pleasant little library that functions well and is a convenient place for the community to get some books, do some research or just relax.

A friendly atmosphere and coffee out for the patrons on the honor system add to the good vibe. Not much of a book collection, more of a community center. If you're here to study or work, keep in mind there doesn't seem to be any kind of silence policy except maybe in one of the reading rooms.

The trail is a wide, sandy path, so it's not difficult, but it is a pretty long walk and definitely sandy. You walk through part of the campground before heading out toward the lighthouse, and the scenery along the way is really pretty. We weren't there during the hours when the lighthouse was open, and we weren't planning on doing the tour anyway, but I believe it was $8 per person to go inside and climb the lighthouse. Even without going inside, it was absolutely worth making the walk out to see it. I also really enjoyed all of the history around the lighthouse. There were informational boards where you could stop and read about the lighthouse, the history of the area, erosion, the sand dunes, and how the landscape has changed over time. I love when places do this because it makes you appreciate what you're looking at so much more. The lighthouse itself is really cute and makes for such a great destination after the long sandy walk. There are also picnic tables around the area, so you can sit and take a break before making the walk back. If you're visiting Ludington State Park, I definitely think the walk to Big Sable Point Lighthouse is worth doing. Just wear comfortable shoes, expect a lot of sand, bring water, and give yourself plenty of time. It's not a quick little stroll, but getting out there and seeing this historic lighthouse surrounded by Lake Michigan was absolutely worth it!

It is a fairly intresting place in a very beautiful setting near Baldwin, Michigan. The furniture is all extremely well made. There is a $5 oral tour about the creator and his creations. I actually found this mostly boring. However that could be because the tour guide was very blah. It is worth a visit if your already in the area. Not really worth a drive though. I give it a solid 3 stars.
