Marine City has a lighthouse, too, but its function is more decorative than real. This is the Peche Island lighthouse, which was built in 1908 on Peche Island (an uninhabited island in the Detroit river), but by the 1980s it was about to collapse. The Coast Guard had the tower replaced and brought the old structure to shore. It ended up on display in Marine City. It still retains its 6th order Fresnel lens although it is inactive.
