Copper Harbor’s Fort Wilkins Historic State Park preserves an 1844 military outpost of the US Army. The 700-acre park includes the 1866 Copper Harbor Lighthouse, one of the first on Lake Superior. Both rebuilt and restored army structures include officer quarters, married officer housing and other structures that made up the early fort. The state park is staffed by army personnel in period costume, and is open in the summer months for camping. Facilities include cabins and lodges, tent, RV and group camping sites, picnic areas and modern restrooms. A boat launch is available. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.
