Description
This bright red landmark is a scale replica built in 2002 of the former Saugatuck Lighthouse. The original lighthouse was also known as the Kalamazoo River Light from where it overlooked near the entrance to Lake Michigan. Today the replica sits along the shore of Kalamazoo Lake in Saugatuck, Michigan near where the ole tug sits in port.
This lighthouse is modeled after the second lighthouse which guided boats off Lake Michigan and up the Kalamazoo River. Built in 1859, it replaced the one built twenty years earlier that was too close to the river and threatened by erosion. The new one was built further away from the water on top of a sand dune.
By 1876, the new light served as home for a new keeper now tending a new light at the end of a pier into Lake Michigan. The old house held its ground until a tornado in 1956 destroyed it.
