Forty Mile Light by Robert Koch
Summary
40 Mile Point Light is located on the shore of Lake Huron in Michigan. The location is aptly named, being situated 40 miles southeast of Old Mackinac Point and 40 northwest of Thunder Bay. The lighthouse station was completed in 1896. 40 Mile Point's last official lighthouse keeper was C. P. Tupper. In January 1944, the United States Coast Guard took over responsibility for maintenance and operation of the 40 Mile Point Light Station. The era of the lighthouse keeper was at an end. In November 1998, the Deed to the property was turned over to the county. Since that time, the county and the 40 Mile Point Lighthouse Society have been working to restore and preserve the entire site.
