Ludington Light
In 1870, Congress appropriated the money needed to build a beacon on the south side of the Ludington Harbor Channel. Ludington North Pierhead Light was first lit 1871. In 1914, the beacon was moved to the Ludington North Pierhead Light north breakwater. In 1870 the beacon was equipped with a Sixth Order Fresnel lens. In 1924, the three-story 57 foot pyramid-shaped tower was built at the end of a long concrete pier that ends at Stearns Park. The lighthouse is made of steel and reinforced concrete which sits on a large black concrete base that angles toward the side of the pier. The light was automated in 1972. The lighthouse marks the entrance to Pere Marquette Harbor, once a popular shipping lane for ships carrying lumber.
