The Grand Traverse Light, built in 1858, rises as a cupola from the top a the 2 1/2 story keepers house. Today the restored light is a museum and gift shop operated as part of a Michigan State Park. The house replicates a keeper's home from the 1920's and 30's. There is also a working fog signal building which is occasionally demonstrated.
The light is located on Cat's Head Point, Leelanau State Park, at the tip of Leelanau Peninsula, 9 miles north of Northport. This is a beautiful drive with views of Lake Michigan and turn-outs to several secluded beaches along the way.

The light is listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the Michigan State Register of Historic Sites.
This is a traverse board, ca 1800-1825. The traverse board (called rekenaar in Dutch, and renard in French) was used in northern European countries from at least the early 16th century until the 19th. By inserting pegs for the ship's direction and speed (as determined by ship's compass and the log and log glass), each half-hour (or hour) of the watch, the mean course and distance sailed could be determined [Tesseract, Catalogue 67, Summer 2000, item 25]. This is in the collection at The Mariners' Museum in Newport News, VA (accession # 2000.32.01)
