“this little light of mine”
The Old Michigan City lighthouse is located in the harbor of Michigan City, Indiana. Built in 1858 at a cost of $8,000, this lighthouse, replaced an 1837 brick & stone light built at water's edge. The Michigan City Breakwater lighthouse is located in the harbor of Michigan City, Indiana. This is the successor to the Old Michigan City Light, when the lantern, lens and light was moved to the new light at the end of the newly extended pier. This is one of very few lights on the Great Lakes which still has the iron walkway atop the pier (see Manistee Pierhead lights and Grand Haven South Pierhead Inner Light).
Great beach. You can walk out to the lighthouse. Nice picnic area.
Beautiful beach and lighthouse. It was $8 to park, I believe. When we were there, the water was too dangerous to swim but we didn’t mind! The lighthouse and water offered beautiful views.
