Grand Marais Light, Range lighthouse in Grand Marais, United States.
The Grand Marais Light consists of two structures: a front range light on a steel skeleton and a rear range light with an octagonal lantern.
The lighthouse began operations in 1886 after Congress allocated funds to improve navigation safety for vessels entering the harbor during the maritime trade expansion.
The former light keeper's residence now houses the local historical society museum, preserving maritime artifacts and documents from Lake Superior's nautical past.
Visitors can access the lighthouse grounds through Broadway Street and park nearby before walking along the breakwater to view both range lights.
The lighthouse system uses two aligned lights to guide ships precisely into the harbor, operating differently from single-beam navigation structures.
