Four lights have sat at Calument Harbor since 1851. The second light was built in 1873, the third in 1876 and the current light was built in 1904. The light sits on a 7,000 foot long breakwater that stretches out into Lake Michigan from Calumet. The breakweater is so long that, technically, the lighthouse sits in Indiana.
