Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: In 1850, Congress appropriated $5,000 for the construction of a lighthouse. In 1852, construction started, and the lighthouse was commissioned in 1853.Within a few years the original lighthouse began wearing down. In 1875 Congress approved a $30,000 amount for a brand new lighthouse. This lighthouse building was finished sometime in 1877. It was originally known as Ottawa Point. The name was officially changed to Tawas Point in 1902. The tower is 70 feet (21 m) tall including the base, with a diameter at base of 16 feet (4.9 m) and a diameter at parapet of 9 feet 6 inches (2.90 m). The Tawas Lighthouse is a very popular destination for visitors and tourists.
