Welcome!

For lighthouse lovers, Presque Isle is a must-see stop in Northern Michigan. Our 1870 Lighthouse is the tallest light on the Great Lakes that the public may climb. Our 1840 Lighthouse is one of the oldest lights on the Great Lakes. And our 1870 Harbor Range Light honors the small, dedicated group of women who were appointed keepers in a profession dominated by men. The beautifully restored 1905 Keeper’s House serves as a museum highlighting local history and the lives of lighthouse keepers and their families.

• Old Presque Isle Lighthouse (1840) 

• New Presque Isle Lighthouse (1870)

• Presque Isle Harbor Range Light (1870)

• Keeper’s House Museum (1905)

• Third Order Fresnel Lens

Easy to find! Hard to leave!
