Significance: The significance of the Presque Isle Light Station stems from two sources. First, it played a role in the expansion of shipping and passenger travel on the Great Lakes and the subsequent development of the northern counties of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. The light is associated with events that made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of Michigan's history. Second, the light tower is an example of functional architecture associated with safe travel along Michigan's coastline. The light embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type and period of construction important to the state's architectural heritage.
