History:
The Presque Isle Lighthouse was built in 1872 and first lit on July 12, 1873. The 57-foot tower has a redbrick dwelling at the base and is currently used as a park residence. It flashes a white light that is still maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard. An educational exhibit is located adjacent to the property.
