Description
A point in the storm and a guiding beacon since 1889, Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse helped passing ships navigate through the treacherous waters of the Straits of Mackinac. Authentically restored quarters and exhibits, including the original lens, make this “Castle of the Straits” a true gem of the Great Lakes. For sixty-five years, four generations of lighthouse keepers and their families lived at Old Mackinac Point Light Station. Their devotion to duty helped ensure the safety of vessels in the Straits of Mackinac. The lighthouse complex included a tower and attached duplex, fog signal building and storage barn.
