Michigan | Old Mackinac Point |

Constructed 1892 as an extension of a fog signal, the lighthouse remained in operation until 1957,
when "Mighty Mac", the Mackinac Bridge was opened and the light no longer necessary.
It was named "Mackinac Point" due to its location at the junction of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.
Its light came from a fourth order fresnel lens and was visible for about 14 nautical miles (appr. 26 kilometers).
