 History
of the Light :
The first Lighthouse built in Manistee was back in 1871, after
only one year of service it was destroyed by fire. The present
Light wasn't built till 1927. The catwalk leading out to the
Light was originally made of wood, but was no match for Lake Michigan's
waves and ice, and was replaced by a steel catwalk.
The town of Manistee was restored to it's Victorian-era, and
is now on the National Register. The award winning River walk along the Manistee River goes through town and out to the
Lighthouse. Plenty of shops and eateries line the riverbanks
along the River walk.
