Project Background Sturgeon Point Lighthouse is in northeastern lower Michigan five miles north of Harrisville on Lake Huron.

Built in 1869 by the U.S. Lighthouse Board. The lighthouse and keepers’ residence are constructed of brick masonry on an ashlar limestone foundation. The tower stands 70 feet, 9 inches tall and is 16 feet in diameter at its base which tapers to 10 feet at the lantern room, which can be reached by a spiral staircase on the interior. The tower has four windows, one each that face the cardinal points of a compass, provides natural light for the interior. The lantern room features a three-and-a-half-order Fresnel lens which is said to have provided a light that could be seen for up to 15 miles.

The lighthouse remained under the operation of the U.S. Lighthouse Service until 1939, when the U.S Lighthouse Service merged with the U.S. Coast Guard. In 2005, ownership was transferred from the U.S.

Coast Guard to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources under the terms of the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act. The property is currently comanaged by DNR and the Alcona Historical Society.
