Lighthouse · Tawas, Michigan
Tawas Point Lighthouse
The tower was first lit in 1876 and no longer serves as a light for ships. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The tower in Tawas Point State Park still holds its Fresnel lens and is a museum; it has been dark since 2016, when a skeleton tower nearer the tip of the sandy point took over.
