Claim this place to tell your story your way.
Built in 1931, this lighthouse helped countless vessels safely traverse the treacherous waters of Lake Huron.
Its unique crib foundation, made of steel and concrete, anchors it firmly to the lake bed, ensuring stability even in rough weather.
Before electricity, the lighthouse used kerosene lamps to light the way for sailors, a true beacon of hope in the dark!
Thanks to dedicated preservation efforts, visitors can now experience life as a lighthouse keeper with overnight stays!
The lighthouse was built onshore and then floated to its current location, a remarkable feat of engineering!
