The Marquette Maritime Museum and Lighthouse has opened for the 2010 season. The museum will be open 7 days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The museum will feature guided tours of the Marquette Harbor Lighthouse. Lighthouse tours run daily. Please call ahead for tour times. The newly renovated museum also contains the largest collection of Fresnel lenses on the Great Lakes, updated shipwreck displays and early Life-Saving and US Coast Guard exhibits.
Also featured is the new Line-Throwing Gun exhibit. These guns were instrumental in the early life-saving service. The McClintock Darter-Dace Annex, which includes a 40-foot tall working periscope and an interactive diorama of the Battle of Leyte Gulf, is also housed in the museum.
The museum gift shop has lighthouse models from the region, maritime books, videos and many unique nautical gifts.
