Mendota Light Station.jpg

Bete Grise, MI

Located in Bete Grise Michigan on the UP's Keweenaw Peninsula, this light station which was originally established in 1870 and rebuilt in 1895, is currently occupied as a private residence. The light is active and considered a private aid to navigation. The lighthouse is of the Square/Integral Brick design, which is very common to this area. It was officially de activated in 1960 and re-established by its current owners who, from outward appearances, have done a magnificent job of restoration. The light is not open to the public and can be viewed only from the park across the Mendota Ship Channel or from a boat on the Lake.
