The Michigan City Lighthouse in northern Indiana is a true sight to see. Anyone who has been by this incredible historic structure understands why so many people would stop and take a picture.
It has been around for more than 100 years and is still in tip-top shape. Scroll on to get a look at this fabulous and popular piece of history.
The Michigan City Lighthouse was built in 1904, and it is situated in northwest Indiana on the shores of Lake Michigan.
The pier near the lighthouse is a popular spot for locals to fish and watch sunsets. Many have painted images of the lighthouse as well as taken photos of it at many different times of the day and year.
People take photos and paint images of the lighthouse in all sorts of weather too. Hoosiers and those from neighboring states are absolutely obsessed with this structure.
There is an older lighthouse that was built in 1858 that is open as a museum. It is situated on land just before the land bridge to the working lighthouse.
