One lighthouse historian says there were as many as 247 lighthouses in Michigan, but now less than 100 are in good condition.  A State of Michigan map listed 124 remaining lighthouses and some books contain more or less.  Some of these lights are no longer operational and some are only small remnants of the ones that once illuminated the shore, but each has its own place in history.(info)
