Michigan City East Light

Local nameMichigan City East Pierhead Light
LocationMichigan City, Indiana, United States

The Michigan City Breakwater lighthouse is located in the harbor of Michigan City, Indiana.This is the successor to the Old Michigan City Light, when the lantern, lens and light was moved to the new light at the end of the newly extended pier.

This is one of very few lights on the Great Lakes which still has the iron walkway atop the pier.There has been a lighthouse in Michigan City for 170 years. However, "most people in Indiana don’t realize there is a lighthouse in the state." Mayor Oberlie passes out lapel pins to illustrate its importance and scope. He calls Lake Michigan "the city’s crown jewel," which became prominent when he was city planner in the 1970s.In May 2007, this aid to navigation was deemed excess by the Coast Guard.
