About Little Channel Lighthouse
Also known as: Little Channel (Hardy's Channel) Range Rear (relocated to Freeland)
A square pyramidal wood tower, standing 9 meters tall, was built in 1877 to serve the Little Channel. The lighthouse displays a light blue exterior with white trim. Originally, the tower was attached to a one-story keeper's cottage, integrating the living quarters with the navigational aid. This structure served maritime traffic for many years before being made inactive.
Why it matters: The original design, with the tower directly attached to the keeper's cottage, represents a practical approach to lighthouse keeping, highlighting the daily life and dedication of those who maintained these lights.
