Lighthouse · Keweenaw, Michigan
Copper Harbor Lighthouse
The tower, first lit in 1866, is dark now. The working light, one green flash every 6 seconds, stands nearby, about 20 m away. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The lighthouse on the point across the harbor from town is part of Fort Wilkins Historic State Park, reached by tour boat in summer; its light moved to the steel tower beside it in 1933.
