Grand Traverse Light

urther north is the Grand Traverse Light which was built in 1850, deemed inadequate and relocated and rebuilt in 1858. A larger, fourth-order Fresnel lens which was powered by Whale Oil and Kerosene was installed in 1870 and used until electrified in 1953. In 1972 the tower light was replaced with an automated beacon mounted on a steel tower. You can tour the lighthouse from May to November. Hours vary. The cost is $4 for adults, $2 for children with children under 5 free.
