The tower was first lit in 1870 and no longer serves as a light for ships. The brick lighthouse at Jacobsville has been dark since the 1920 entrance light replaced it and is a private home.

How to see it

Above water and inside the horizon from White City beach, Portage Entry, 1.5 km (0.9 mi) away, so on a clear day it can be seen from there, and CoastFinder puts a label on it.

On the website for now. Michigan's lighthouses are in the web viewer first, and they are coming to the CoastFinder app, which covers the North Carolina coast today. Follow @coastfinderapp to hear when Michigan arrives.
