Big Sable Point Light, Maritime museum and lighthouse in Ludington State Park, United States
The white tower with black bands rises 112 feet above Lake Michigan, featuring eight circular windows that illuminate its interior staircase.
The United States Congress allocated 35,000 dollars in 1866 for the construction of this lighthouse, which began operations on November 1, 1867.
The Sable Points Lighthouse Keepers Association maintains the historical integrity of the structure through educational programs and guided tours throughout summer.
Visitors can reach the lighthouse through state highway M-116 from Ludington to Lakeshore Drive, requiring a vehicle permit for Ludington State Park entry.
The original cream-colored brick structure required reinforcement in 1900 through encasement in steel plates to increase visibility against the natural backdrop.
