Grand Marais, MN 55604

Grand Marais Lighthouse, located in the picturesque town of Grand Marais, Minnesota, has a rich history dating back to its establishment as a harbor of refuge in 1895. With a striking square pyramidal tower and a second rear range light added in 1898, the lighthouse has served as a vital navigational aid for vessels on Lake Superior for over a century.

The lighthouse's keeper's dwelling, which was constructed in 1908, underscores the dedication to maritime safety and the living conditions of lighthouse keepers at the time. Today, the Grand Marais Lighthouse stands as a historical monument, showcasing the evolution of coastal protection and the enduring legacy of those who served on the Great Lakes.
