The Manitou Islands Memorial Society is a non-profit organization located in West Branch, Michigan. It was founded in 1988 by a group of individuals who were dedicated to preserving the history and heritage of the Manitou Islands, which are located off the coast of Lake Michigan. The society is committed to maintaining the historic structures and cemeteries on the islands, and to educating the public about their significance.

The society is responsible for the care and maintenance of the South Manitou Island Lighthouse and the surrounding structures, including the keeper's quarters and the fog signal building. The organization has also restored the cemetery on the island, which includes the graves of many early settlers and lighthouse keepers.

In addition to its preservation efforts, the Manitou Islands Memorial Society also offers educational programs and tours for visitors to the islands. These programs include guided hikes, historical reenactments, and tours of the lighthouse and other historic sites.

The society is run by a board of directors and relies on the support of volunteers and donations from the public to carry out its mission. Through its efforts, the Manitou Islands Memorial Society has become a valued resource for anyone interested in the history and heritage of the Manitou Islands and the Great Lakes region.
