Old Presque Isle Light, Maritime beacon in Presque Isle County, Michigan, United States.
The lighthouse structure combines stone and brick construction, with a tower reaching 30 feet in height and 18 feet in diameter at its base.
Congress allocated funds in 1838 for the construction of this lighthouse, which operated from 1840 to 1871 before operations moved to a taller coastal structure.
The lighthouse museum displays maritime artifacts, historical photographs, and includes the former Lansing City Hall clock tower bell weighing 3,425 pounds.
The facility opens from Memorial Day weekend through mid-October, with daily operations during summer and weekend schedules during shoulder seasons.
Visitors can climb hand-hewn stone steps to reach the lantern room, which contains a Fourth Order Fresnel Lens overlooking Lake Huron.
