The Seul Choix Point Lighthouse is a Michigan Historic Site and National Historic Landmark. It is operated by the Gulliver Historical Society in cooperation with the Department of Natural Resources. Seul Choix (sis-shwa) Point Light marks a small harbor on Lake Michigan on the south shore of the Upper Peninsula, 14 miles east of Manistique, Michigan. The name means "only choice".

 

The light still operates, but with an automated replacement for its original lens. The light was placed into service in 1892. Overall, the tower is 78 feet, 9 inches tall. The interior of the living quarters has been restored and decorated as they would have appeared in the early 1900s.
