Fort Gratiot Light

This picture was taken at the entrance to the St Clair River from Lake Huron in Port Huron, Michigan.  Fort Gratiot Light was the first lighthouse in the state of Michigan being constructed in 1829 by Lucius Lyon who later became a Michigan Senator.  The light is still active and the grounds are an active Coast Guard facility, although it has been recently handed over the control to the Port Huron Museum.  I am making up for lost time on lighthouses folks!
