Live Performance By Local Actors on July 12^th Shines The Light On Marine Heritage and the Life of A Lighthouse Keeper. 

(Southampton, ON) Some see a lighthouse as an object of curiosity, a relic of a bygone era. But for a small group of coastside families, it was home. The public is invited to a performance of ‘A Day in the Life’ featuring the day in the life of a lighthouse keeper on Sunday, July 12^th from 2:00 – 3:00 pm at the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre.  This performance series is based on actual characters researched from personal papers, county documents and materials donated to the Bruce County Archives.   

This is the 3^rd performance in a series of live performances created for the “Day In The Life…” program.  Costumed interpreters bring Bruce County’s history to life with a day in the life themed performance series featuring stories, readings and re-enactments. Local residents Larry and Julie Cardiff wrote this script.  Great entertainment for all ages!  General Admission applies for these performances.
