Marquette Light House was constructed in 1866 and a second story added in 1909. Tours of the light house and museum are available. "The lighthouse is the oldest significant structure in the city and more importantly, the lighthouse is one of the most historic navigation beacons on Lake Superior and critical to the development of the Great Lakes iron ore trade."

For those interested in the super natural the tour guide told us that the light house was haunted.
