Gordon Lightfoot's Enduring Legacy: Tributes and Honors.
TL;DR Summary
Split Rock Lighthouse in Minnesota will light its beacon in honor of the late singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot, who died at the age of 84. Lightfoot's song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" about the 1975 sinking of the freighter Edmund Fitzgerald in Lake Superior has played an outsized role in the programming and number of people who visit the historic site. The beacon will be lit from 9 to 11 p.m. on Wednesday night, and the historic site and visitor center will be closed during the tribute.
