The tower was first lit in 1919 and no longer serves as a light for ships. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The yellow brick lighthouse near Ahmeek, dark since 1954, was a bed and breakfast until 2018 and is now a private property closed to the public.

How to see it

Above water and inside the horizon from W. C. Veale Park, 2.3 km (1.4 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.
