Sand Point Light House, Escanaba, Michigan

This pretty little one and a half story lighthouse on Lake Michigan seems to have been built backwards, its tower facing the town instead of the water. Established in 1868, and inactive since 1939, the completely restored structure now serves as a museum operated by the Delta County Historical Society. The museum highlights the life of Mary Terry, the first light keeper who served for 18 years. She was one of the first female light keepers on the Great Lakes.
