Port Austin Attractions
Port Austin began when P.C. Austin, part owner in a local sawmill, built a boat dock for himself in 1839. Eventually he enlarged it for the use of others, set up a street light on a pole for use as a lighthouse and it became known as Austin's Dock. The name changed to Austin Port, and finally Port Austin. The town is a notable destination for the sunrises and sunsets on Lake Huron.
Huron City Museums
Huron City has been preserved, as it was 100 years ago. The exhibits are original to the site so visitors can enter historic buildings in their original setting. The House of Seven Gables is a preserved Victorian mansion with original furnishings.
