About Michigan Island Lighthouse
The Michigan Island Light Station, established in 1857, consists of a white tower standing 36 meters tall.

The station is part of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, situated in western Lake Superior. While a light was first lit in 1857, the current operational status is false.
Why it matters: The Michigan Island Light Station is a National Register of Historic Places contributing property.
