Dan Weemhoff (dwhike) > Sand Point (Baraga) - The Sand Point light in Baraga entered service in 1878 and is a twin of the Little Traverse Lighthouse in Harbor Springs. The light was automated in 1922 and, about twenty years later, deactivated and sold to a private owner. I can only assume it was during this time of private ownership that the ugly attached porch was added. The lighthouse is now located within a local park operated by the local Keweenaw Bay Indian Community.
Dan Weemhoff (dwhike) > Seul Choix Point - One of the Great Lakes signature lighthouses, Seul Choix (pronounced Ses-shwah) was completed in 1895 after five years of construction. Its Third Order Fresnel lens, 74' above the lake, could be seen from a distance of 17 miles. The station was manned until 1972, when it was automated and abandoned. The station deteriorated rapidly until a local group, the Gulliver Historical Society, took it upon themselves to preserve the light. The restored station is open to the public.
Dan Weemhoff (dwhike) > Six Mile Point Rear Range - This light is a bit of a mystery.  Located at the Maritime Museum in Cedarville it was relocated here from an island in the upper St. Mary's River.  I haven't been able to gather any history on the light but have been in contact with the caretakers of the local historical society so hopefully more info will be forthcoming!
