For approximately 200 years, lighthouses along Michigan lake coastlines have guided sailors, captains, and their crews to safety. With all those Great Lakes coastlines, it’s no surprise that Michigan has more lighthouses than any other state in the country…at last count, 129 of them still remain. At one time, we had up to 250 of ‘em along the shores of three of our Great Lakes: Huron, Michigan, and Superior. The first one began operating in 1825.

Belding, MI

The Ionia County town of Belding was once the top silk-producing place in the entire state.....and country. Charles Broas settled here in 1839, built a mill, and immediately named the place ‘Broas Rapids’. Lucius Patterson purchased a piece of ownership in Broas’ mill property in 1842.
