The Lighthouse Keeper's House at the Presque Isle Township 1870 Light Station was built in 1905.  It is located in Presque Isle County in the northeast corner of Michigan on beautiful Lake Huron.  The two-story home of concrete block with nine rooms has been restored and furnished to reflect the life of a keeper's family in the 1905-1915 period.

The house also contains exhibits featuring many artifacts pertaining to the Lighthouse Service and the Coast Guard.  Scrapbooks contain photos and postcards dating to the 1800's.  Copies of Keepers logbooks and memoirs of a keeper's daughter are also available on the site.  A functioning Edison "Talking Machine" is available for your listening pleasure.
