Lighthouse · Grand Marais, Michigan
Grand Marais Harbor of Refuge Inner Light
The tower was first lit in 1898 and is still an aid to navigation. Its light shows a steady white light, seen up to 16 nautical miles out. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The rear range tower at the inner end of the west pier still turns a Fresnel lens; the keeper's house nearby is a museum run by the Grand Marais Historical Society.
