History
of the Light : Built in 1904, this light still stands at the
entrance to Michigan City. The large building under the light housed the
boilers for the steam fog signal. An elevated catwalk leads out to the
light for accessibility during rough weather. In 1960 the light was automated by the
Coast Guard. It is still operating as an active Coast Guard aid to
navigation.
