Michigan city lighthouse šŸ˜šŸ˜ since discovering this place, I've been back as many times as possible. there's something about sitting on those rocks on the water, no one else around, just being... there aren't words. šŸ˜ finally got to take the kiddos all the way back to the lighthouse this time. we didnt do the museum. you can in fact go to the top of the museum light house (not pictured) but I went in the fall and almost melted. we weren't trying it in the heat. šŸ˜‚

Thoroughly enjoyed this small museum! 3 rooms on each of the two floors and packed with information/history of the lighthouse and town. The staff were super nice and provided us with additional information and answered our questions. I particularly enjoyed that each room had a button to push that provides you information on what is in the room. Need about 45 minutes to go through it. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and there were only 2 other couples. 1. It is not accessible. 2. Open Wednesday-Sunday 1-4 pm. 3. Don’t show up 30 minutes before closing.

Definitely a must visit. The staff are nice and very knowledgeable about the lighthouse and history of the keeper and previous lake related incidents in the area. Nice small gift shop also. Give yourself about 1-2 hours to see the displays and learn some history. Make sure to cap off your visit by making a walk to the beach and then out to the pier/lighthouse if weather permitting (pier/lighthouse walk is handicap accessible, however there are a few steps from the beach sidewalk to the pier walk).

If you've never been there before you should go you will be amazed it's not just a lighthouse it has the local Indian history you will see artifacts from the area as well as a history of the first lady Lighthouse Keeper there at that Lighthouse back in the 1800s and you will learn about how difficult it was to be a Lighthouse Keeper in this very Lighthouse that is now a museum it's fascinating it's right in the park on the water in Michigan City you can't miss it it's great go there bring your kids just call first to make sure it's open because they have limited hours and I would say parking is available and free and then afterwards go to the Fish Camp restaurant next door and watch the boats go by you will love your experience but don't forget to give a contribution to the museum before you leave they need it to stay open happy...

Knowledgeable and friendly docents. Unique collection and museum. Deserves a visit. Read the signs and displays on the grounds as well. My family and I visited the museum twice (vists were years apart) with the same experience. I don't understand the comments of the previous reviewer, other than poorly behaved children endangering the exhibits. Furthermore, I don't understand how a parent could allow their unaccompanied children to wander through a museum. There was even an extremely rare map on the wall I enquired about, and they tried to locate a copy for me to buy at...
