The Old Michigan City Light is a decommissioned lighthouse located in the harbor of Michigan City, Indiana.

Built in 1858 at a cost of $8,000, this lighthouse, replaced an 1837 brick & stone light built at the edge of Lake Michigan. It was the second light at the site, and the predecessor to the Michigan City East Light, to which the lantern, lens and light were moved in 1904; it being the new light at the end of the newly extended pier.[7]

It was remodeled in 1904. Seven Lighthouse keepers and fourteen assistant keepers served here from 1837-1940.[8]

A fourth order Fresnel lens is on display.[7]

It is one of a dozen past or present lighthouses in Indiana.[9]

Location

The lighthouse is located in Washington Park. It is open every day except Mondays from 1 to 4 p.m., except in winter.[10]
