Monday Memories The Ludington North Breakwater Lighthouse, built in 1924, stands as a striking landmark at the entrance to Ludington Harbor on the shores of Lake Michigan. Designed in a unique pyramidal Art Deco style, the 57-foot-tall steel-plated structure was built to withstand the lake's harsh waves and icy conditions. Originally equipped with a fourth-order Fresnel lens, the lighthouse served as a vital navigational aid for ships entering the busy port. It was manually operated by keepers until 1972, when automation took over. Today, the lighthouse remains an active navigational aid and is maintained by the Sable Points Lighthouse Keepers Association |
