Michigan lighthouses have been shining a light on the Great Lakes for centuries. With more than 3,200 miles of shoreline, lighthouses greatly impact the water community. Michigan is one of the few states in the nation with so many lighthouses, and they are all unique in different ways. The facilities are so popular that Vernors once launched limited-edition cans featuring our state's lighthouses. The oldest standing lighthouse in the Mitten is the Fort Gratiot Lighthouse in Port Huron. It was built in 1829 after the first lighthouse in the state built in 1825 was destroyed by storms.
