Description

A beautiful summer day at Point Betsie Lighthouse with blue skies. I love how you can faintly see sunrays from the sun coming out of the clouds. Point Betsie Light is located on the northeast shore of Lake Michigan. It's at the southern entrance to the Manitou Passage just north of Frankfort in Benzie County in Northern Michigan. Construction began in 1854, and was completed in 1858. The cylindrical tower is 39 feet tall, but sits on a dune. It is attached to the Lighthouse keepers house, which was upgraded to an attractive gambrel roof design. This was one of the earliest Life Saving Stations. Prior to being automated in 1983, the 'wickies' operated the light for 106 years. This was the last manned lighthouse on Lake Michigan and the last Michigan lighthouse to lose its keeper.
