Review:
Built in 1904, the Michigan City East Lighthouse is the only public operating lighthouse in Indiana and an iconic symbol of Michigan City. Located at the end of a newly extended pier in the harbor of Michigan City, the Michigan City East Lighthouse was built in 1858, replacing the Old Michigan City Light, which was built at the water’s edge in 1837. The original pier, which was known as the ‘catwalk,’ was used by keepers of the lighthouse to access the light tower for over 30 years, and after almost being demolished, was renovated and extended and still retains the original iron walkway atop the newly extended pier. The pier is a popular spot for fishing and watching sunsets.
