Grand Marais Light stands at the outer end of a breakwater on the Lake Superior shore in Grand Marais, Minnesota, marking the harbor entrance since it was first lit in 1922. Still operating, it is closely linked to the town’s waterfront history. Its original keeper’s house on shore now serves as the main museum of the Cook County Historical Society, housing exhibits on local history, industry, and culture. Together, the active lighthouse and the former keeper’s residence connect Grand Marais’s present-day harbor with its past on the North Shore.
