Manning Memorial Lighthouse

Empire, MI

This small working lighthouse was completed in 1991 as a memorial to local fisherman Robert H. Manning, who had long wanted a light in Empire. It stands in a public lakeside park and operates seasonally as a private aid to navigation rather than as a traditional staffed lighthouse.
