Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse

Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse was established in 1889, with its fog signal entering operation in 1890 and its tower and dwelling completed in 1892. For over 60 years, four generations of lighthouse keepers and their families lived at the station, and their devotion to duty helped ensure the safety of vessels in the Straits of Mackinac. The grounds include three original buildings restored to their 1910 appearance, and the lighthouse contains the restored keeper's quarters and an exhibit gallery featuring hands-on displays and original artifacts on its history. Within the reconstructed warehouse, the Straits of Mackinac Shipwreck Museum includes dozens of original shipwreck artifacts, scale models, and displays exploring the many wrecks of the straits.
