About Presque Isle Lighthouse
Construction of the Old Presque Isle Light began in 1840, funded by a $5,000 congressional appropriation from 1838. The tower utilized a combination of two-thirds stone and one-third brick in its construction. Deterioration due to harsh weather led to its replacement by a newer station in 1867. The lighthouse is no longer operational and now serves as a museum.
Why it matters: This lighthouse was the first in the Presque Isle, Michigan area.
Background
The Old Presque Isle Light was the first lighthouse in the Presque Isle, Michigan area, built in 1840, supported physically by two-thirds stone and one-third brick, and supported financially by funds appropriated by Congress two years earlier of $5,000. The tower and dwelling did not last long in the harsh weather, however, and by 1867 they were deteriorated enough for Congress to find need for a newer station. It presently is not operational and is a museum.Light & Optic
