Grand Island East Channel Lighthouse

This wood-framed lighthouse was first placed
into service in 1868 and abandoned
in 1913. The light and property around it
are privately owned. A local movement
restored the lighthouse from 2001-2005.

This was taken from the Pictured Rocks
Boat tour. The island is rustic and the
best way to view the lighthouse is from
the water.

Bless those that take the effort to restore such wonderful examples of history. This is a wonderful old light! V
