The Ontonagon Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse completed in 1853 on Lake Superior near Ontonagon, Michigan. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a Michigan State Historic Site. The Ontonagon light is a one and half story rectangular, brick keeper's house built on a stone foundation. Attached to it is a three-story, 34-foot tall tower, a design used on a number of Michigan lighthouses. The tower has a polygonal iron beacon on its top. A spiral stair inside of the tower reaches the light, the basement and upper floor of the main house. The lighthouse was first equipped with Lewis lamps, which were replaced in 1857 with a fifth-order Fresnel lens.
