I'd only suggest this particular museum to history lovers and travelers who enjoy learning about the area. It is a self-lead tour, which is nice, that has audio buttons to narrate each room. It is interesting to see the items retrieved from shipwrecks on Lake Michigan, as well as items that reflect period-approrpriate pieces for a lighthouse as a home.

My wife and I took our two young daughters to the lighthouse museum on a nice but windy afternoon in October. We saw a great number of artifacts and saw how the Lightkeeper and the assistant lived. The building is restored well. This turned out to be a nice little find. We saw this museum and the Barker mansion in the same afternoon. We enjoyed the day.

We have been at the Old Lighthouse Museum numerous times, but have never been there during their open hours. Enjoyed taking pictures of the lighthouse area, and hope someday to catch the museum open.

We enjoyed our visit with the docent here who told us all about the history of the lighthouse. Beautiful!

The lighthouse tower rises from the roof of the light keepers house. A heavy fresnel lens sits in the lobby where many men laboured to carry it. Since residents provided their own furnishings most items here were donations many having little to do with light keeping. Excellent view from the tower but must be hot in summer as it's enclosed. The docents made the visit worthwhile.

I guess I had envisioned going into the actual traditional lighthouse. This was the old lighthouse that was actually the caretakers home. They had some interesting artifacts. The docent we had didn't really give a lot of details and was unsure about how to answer a couple of questions regarding a few of the items in the museum. You did get to go into the very top of the museum into the lookout area which was neat. Overall it was pretty good.

I took my 7 year old grandson. He had a good time, he asked questions the whole time we was there, there was someone close to answer him. I thought I would get I am bored or I want to go home, instead he has told everyone about the great time he had and how much he liked the people that ran the place.. (lol) they really took the time for him.

The new lighthouse is sweet to see, the only lighthouse in Indiana. But the historic old lighthouse museum is well worth the few bucks entry since it is used to keep the place going. We had a lovely lady docent that tours the building and explains the various and many objects displayed. The 1st submarine was built here. The floors are laid out as they would have been when occupied, period furniture to complete the vision. One unique piece is a fragment of an American flag that John Wilkes Booth tore in his fall from the balcony after shooting Lincoln. There is a limited exhibit of native peoples artifacts. Lots of articles to see and read. I was most moved by the pictures of all the wrecked ships in Lake Michigan. Well worth the time.

We arrived here at sunset. The Lake was fairly calm and the sun shinning over the water made for some great pictures

Learned quite a bit about the lighthouse and its significance during various parts of Indiana and the nation's history overall. Visit the museum and then go to the lighthouse...breathtaking view...especially if it's a bit windy and the waves are crashing against the platform.
