Manning Memorial Lighthouse or Manning Light is a lighthouse located near Empire, Michigan.[1][2] Mr. Manning was a longtime resident of Empire. Manning enjoyed fishing offshore, and often returned from these boat trips late at night. He often remarked to friends and relatives he wished a lighthouse was in the area to aid that navigation. After his death in 1989, friends and relatives raised funds to build the lighthouse as a memorial. The lighthouse was illuminated in 1990.[3][4] It is the second newest lighthouse in Michigan—the newest being the Tri-Centennial Light of Detroit[5] -- and one of three memorial lights in Michigan.[6] Another is the William Livingstone Memorial Light.[5]
