Description
Owned and operated by the Keweenaw County Historical Society, the Eagle Harbor Light Station dates back to 1871. Providing a navigation point for Lake Michigan traffic, this stout brick structure replaced an early wooden tower that lasted only 20 years.
Enduring a 130 year onslaught of Great Lakes storms and battering elements, the lighthouse now doubles as a maritime museum. The light station displays a complete collection of period furnishing, while the old fog signal and watch buildings feature a fascinating collection of shipwreck artifacts and maritime exhibits.
