Port Huron Attractions
Port Huron is one of the oldest settlements in Michigan, dating back to 1686 when the French built Fort St. Joseph. The first permanent colony was established in 1790. Several parks offer recreational opportunities throughout Port Huron.
Huron Lightship Museum
The Huron retired in 1970, she was the last lightship on the Great Lakes. Lightships were like floating lighthouses anchored in areas where it was too deep, expensive or impractical to construct a lighthouse. Built in 1920, she was stationed on Lake Michigan until 1935 when she was transferred to Corsica Shoals in Lake Huron. For the next 36 years she guided mariners into the narrow dredged channel of lower Lake Huron leading to the St. Clair River.
