After visiting several lighthouses around the world, I return to the U.S.A. this week and to the Great Lakes in particular. And the Great Lake I've selected is the middle child, Lake Huron. This week's lighthouse is Tawas Point Light in Michigan.
Here is a LOT about it, from Lighthouse Friends:
Tawas Point, Michigan
It's pretty classical, though the red roof of the keeper's house is notable. The white tower is 67 feet high.
Here's where it is -- scroll out further to see where that is in Michigan. I'm not sure if it's active; the Lighthouse Friends article indicates that the Coast Guard was planning to shut it down in October 2015. The Lighthouse Directory says it was inactivated in 2016. So now I'm sure it's not active.
Four pictures and a video below.
