The Old Presque Isle Light was the first lighthouse in the Presque Isle Michigan area built in 1840 supported physically by two-thirds stone and one-third brick and supported financially by funds appropriated by Congress two years earlier of $5000. The tower and dwelling did not last long in the harsh weather however and by 1867 they were deteriorated enough for Congress to find need for a newer station. It presently is not operational and is a museum.
