Copper Harbor Light, Maritime navigation station at Copper Harbor, United States
The red brick lighthouse stands 14 meters tall on Lake Superior's shore, featuring a square tower and white trimmed windows.
Built in 1848 to support copper transport from Upper Michigan, the lighthouse received its first Fresnel lens installation in 1856.
The structure represents early Great Lakes maritime infrastructure and stands as a testament to Michigan's copper mining heritage.
Access to the lighthouse museum requires a boat ride from Copper Harbor State Marina during summer months from June through September.
The lighthouse contains the original keeper's dwelling from 1848, while the current tower dates from 1866 construction efforts.
