Description:
Two lighthouses stand on South Fox Island.
The first was
established in 1867 and was active until the
tall metal tower was
relocated to the island from Sapelo Island in
1934.
The Fox Island Lighthouse Association is making steady progress towards restoring the light station. In March of 2009, it was announced that the association would get $16,666 for the South Fox Island Lighthouse from the Michigan Lighthouse Assistance Program, which is administered by the State Historic Preservation Office and funded by proceeds from the sale of the "Save our Lights" license plate.
