The Isle Royale Lighthouse is situated on Menagerie Island, which is part of the larger Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior.
Constructed in 1875, the lighthouse has been guiding mariners through the treacherous waters of Lake Superior for nearly 150 years.
The lighthouse's tower is constructed from red brick, a common building material for lighthouses of its era, and stands 61 feet tall.
The lighthouse was automated in 1913, eliminating the need for a full-time keeper to operate the light.
Isle Royale National Park, which encompasses the lighthouse, is one of the least visited national parks in the United States due to its remote location.
The lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, recognizing its historical significance and architectural integrity.
