Copper Harbor - The Copper Harbor light was activated in 1849 and was one of two original lighthouses on Lake Superior (the other being Whitefish Point). The light originally housed both a Sixth and then a Fourth Order Fresnel lens. In 1927 the Coast Guard began leasing the building to summer guests and in 1933 abandoned the building altogether in favor of a 62-foot steel tower adjacent. The property was sold to the State of Michigan in the late 50's and has since been restored.
