Old Mission Point Lighthouse
Old Mission Point Lighthouse
is located in
Michigan
at the end of
Old Mission Point, Michigan
, a peninsula jutting into
Traverse Bay
17 miles north of
Traverse City, Michigan
. When it was built in 1870, it was an exact copy of the
Mama Juda Lighthouse
(now destroyed), which was built on the
Detroit River
in
1866
. The
lighthouse
stands just south of the 45th
latitude
, halfway between the
North Pole
and the
Equator
. The lighthouse was deactivated in
1933
and purchased by the State of Michigan. The lighthouse, which is now part of the
Peninsula Township
Park, is used as a private residence for park employees and is not open to the public. It is located at the northern terminus of
Michigan State Highway 37
.
