FiledJanuary 10th, 2011DeTour Village and Drummond Island, MI (January 10, 2011) β Lighthouses in Michigan provide a rich and colorful history. When they were built by the federal government their purpose was to provide safe passage for the ships that traveled the waterways along the United States coastlines. With the advent of advanced technology onboard the ships including radar, satellites and various sensors, the lighthouses became less a guide to the ships and more a nostalgic and historic part of our maritime culture.
