We're just opening up a brand new exhibit here.

at Split Rock.

It's our first major programmatic shift since 1997.

We're trying to showcase how people have always lived in or worked on or controlled the lake.

That theme was kind of pretty consistent throughout the whole story.

And what it does is it allows us to tell a broader scope of history.

It doesn't just let us tell the Lighthouse story, which is really important for here, but it let us tell more about the indigenous cultures that lived here well before us and are still living here.

And then also what it's like raising a family here at the lighthouse right behind us is a replica third order fresnel lens.

It's the exact same size, looks exactly the same as the actual fresnel lens that's up in the actual lighthouse.

One of the main reasons that we wanted to to do this was to provide better accessibility for folks when they visit the site, because right now the only way to get up to the lighthouse is up a bunch of stairs.

You get to the observation deck and then you get to go up another set of stairs in the tower.

Now we have this amazing replica here where people can come in.

They can see what it looks like up at the top of the tower here.

Everybody can get really close to it.

They can see those details and have a better experience.
