Lighthouse · Presque Isle, Michigan
Old Presque Isle Lighthouse
The tower was first lit in 1840 and no longer serves as a light for ships. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A stone and brick tower with its keeper's cottage, dark since the new lighthouse a mile north replaced it in 1871; both are a museum run by the Presque Isle Township Museum Society.
