There are numerous lighthouses along the shores of Lake Michigan, from the 19th century to modern ones. Several of them are active and open to the public, including the historic Grand Traverse Lighthouse. Those interested in history will find several restored lighthouses and museums in the area. These buildings provide a glimpse into Michigan’s maritime past. If you are looking for a unique vacation spot, consider staying at a lighthouse and exploring the area by boat.
Most lighthouses were built in the 1800s, when shipping traffic was at its peak. At that time, lighthouses were the only way to safely navigate harbors. They guided thousands of ships into port using their beams of light. In those days, lighthouse keepers lived in the buildings and walked dangerous catwalks to illuminate the harbors. These structures are now automated, but still serve as popular tourist attractions.
Lighthouses along Lake Michigan are scattered across the state, with many being historic landmarks. Those in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan are more impressive than those on the Great Lakes. Located at the mouth of Lake Superior, Big Sable Point is the tallest of them all. There are also lighthouses on other Great Seaways, such as the mighty Mississippi. This is a list of Michigan lighthouses.
