Description
Painting historical landmarks as this is always interesting to me. Doing all the research is half the fun.
The U.S. Department of Commerce, Lighthouse Service, acquired the land for the lighthouse in 1847 and the first structure was built in 1851-1852. By 1866, the original wood structure was replaced with the existing building, a simple one and one half story, rectangular, cream brick building with a square light tower at the North end. The extremely high basement was built to protect the living areas from flooding.
The Ontonagon Lighthouse, which has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975, is open to the public six days a week and tours are conducted from the Ontonagon County Historical Society Museum located in the downtown section of the Village.
