About Corunna Range Rear Lighthouse
Also known as: Corunna Range Rear (relocated)
This square pyramidal wood tower, standing 13 meters tall and painted white, was built in 1892. It originally guided ships on the St. Clair River from Cameron Street in Corunna. The lighthouse was deactivated in 1941 and purchased by local residents for $75 to save it from demolition. The Coast Guard reactivated the light in 1951, but it was permanently shut down in 1982 due to an obstructed view. The structure was then relocated 5 km west to the grounds of the Moore Museum in Mooretown.
Why it matters: Its preservation through community purchase and subsequent relocation highlights local commitment to maritime heritage and the history of navigation on the St. Clair River.
