Lighthouses Of The Great Lakes

There are many charming nostalgic lighthouses to see in the Great Lakes region, they conjure up; memories of a different era and often call to mind the romance of the open water and ships making their way with the lonely lighthouse keepers maintaining a dutiful watch. Lighthouses are so cool and there are many still standing despite their obsolescence and some are open for the public to visit. These great lighthouses are tall and elegant, short and utilitarian, and beautifully restored there are dozens standing along Michigan’s 3,200 miles of shoreline that are well worth a visit.
