Super interesting interactive Michigan Lighthouse feature

Andrew Norton

The Detroit News has a very well put together interactive display online of Michigan's many lighthouses. There is a map of all of the lighthouses that line Michigan's coast (both lower and upper peninsulas are included) and all you have to do is click on one of the icons marking a lighthouse and you will get pictures of that particular lighthouse and some facts and history as well. To make the main photo disappear just click it. It took me a few seconds to figure out that was all you had to do to access the entire map.

New book available on history of Mackinac Point Lighthouse

Andrew Norton

Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse - A History & Pictorial Souvenir is produced by the Mackinac State Historic Parks and is available for $10.95. The book covers the lighthouse from its construction to its decommission in 1957 when it was made obsolete by the lights of the Mackinac Bridge. The lighthouse is currently undergoing a restoration to its 1910 appearance and tours are available. As part of the tour you can climb to the top of the tower and look out upon the Straits of Mackinac.

You can purchase the book at the lighthouse gift shop (in the old foghorn building) or by calling the Mackinac State Historic Parks at (231) 436-4100.

See Michigan.gov for more information.
