When I think about Rhode Island, a nice image comes to my mind with hilly, rocky beaches and picturesque lighthouses. These amazing, generally white buildings are familiar in New England. There are lots of lighthouses in the smallest state of the U.S., Rhode Island. You can visit through 20 lights, all positioned in a nearby geographical field.
Located on the land protruding from the eastern shore of Lake Huron in Michigan, you’ll find the Presque Isle Lighthouse. The name Presque Isle comes from the French term that means “almost an island.” Congress appropriated $7,000 to fund the construction of the lighthouse in 1838 and construction started shortly thereafter. The lighthouse was completed in 1840.
