Two Rivers Miniature Lighthouse

Item Code: 34-9391

In the early 19th century, the boat building and fishing industries on Lake Michigan had become the backbone of many a community, and to protect it, a lighthouse was built at the juncture of the East and West Twin Rivers, to give ships on the lake, a visual reference. Known thereafter as the Two Rivers Lighthouse, it was built on a cast iron tower, with a catwalk well above the high water level, and a decahedron shaped lantern room. As with so many of these wonderful landmarks, it was retired and functions today as a tourist attraction. A miniature replica like this one will draw visitors to your mantel or wherever it’s displayed. Painted resin. 4 x 2.5 x 4 inches.
