Old Lighthouse Museum

Exhibits connect lighthouse service with Lake Michigan navigation and the development of the local waterfront.

The photograph shows the historic museum building. Check seasonal public hours and admission before arriving. This is separate from the pierhead lighthouse and from nearby zoo admission, so confirm the exact destination. Historic stairs and rooms can affect mobility; arrange groups in advance and follow conservation guidance around maritime objects and preserved interiors.
