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.
