Marquette Lighthouse -- Explored

Perhaps the Coast Guard had another reason for that, but my impression was that it was simply to make it more attractive. More about the history of the lighthouse (now decommissioned) here. mqtmaritimemuseum.com/marquette-lighthouse/. On the National Register of Historic Places.
