Iron Mountain In 1908, John T. Jones built this experimental blast furnace, named the "Ardis Furnace" after his daughter, to test a an iron extraction process he developed. The furnace as originally built was a huge rotating metal tube installed at a slight incline and held in place by a series of concrete supports. The Ardis Furnace was initially a success, but a fundamental heat problem limited its durability, and within two years Jones lost his personal fortune and the project was abandoned. Some elements of Jones's technology were incorporated into later successful operations, but the ruins of the concrete supports are the only remnants of the Ardis furnace.

Iron Mountain The Chapin Mine Steam Pump Engine, also known as The Cornish Pump, was built by the E. P. Allis Company (now Allis-Chalmers) in 1890-91, and is still the largest reciprocating steam-driven engine ever built in the United States. It was use in the 1890s at the Chapin Mine "D" shaft, and from 1907-1914 at the nearby Ludington Mine "C" shaft. At the "C" shaft, the engine was connected to a series of eight pumps, the deepest of which was 1,500 feet (460 m) below ground. The total capacity of the pump system was 3,400 US gallons (13,000 l) per minute. The system was replaced in 1914 by electric pumps, and the Cornish Pump has served as a tourist attraction since 1934.

Mount Pleasant St. John's Episcopal Church was initially established as a mission church in 1876 by circuit riders. In 1882, the cornerstone of the current church, modeled on the riding stable of the English estate of the Duke of Devonshire, was laid. The Rt. Rev. George D. Gillespie consecrated the church on January 10, 1884. The church cintains historic stained-glass windows representing the Holy Sacrament, St. John the Evangelist, and St. Mary, the Mother of God. In 1996, the church building underwent extensive restoration and renovations, much of which was completed by parishioners.

Golden Township The Little Sable Point Light was constructed in 1874 from a design by Col. Orlando M. Poe. The light sits atop a brick tower with a stone base. Prior to 1900, the brick was left in its natural color and state, as it was unusually hard and held up well to the elements. In 1900 the light was painted white for the first time, to assuage the complaints of mariners who said the brick was difficult to see. It remained that color until 1975, when it was sand blasted, and returned to its natural color. The lantern is capped by a copper roof.

In 1895, money was appropriated to build this light, 40 miles (64 km) south of Mackinac Point. The plan for this light is nearly identical to the one for the Big Bay Point Lighthouse on Lake Superior that was constructed at the same time.

Presque Isle The Old Presque Isle Light was the first lighthouse in the Presque Isle, Michigan area. The light was built in 1840, and was constructed of two-thirds stone and one-third brick. However, the tower and dwelling did not last long in the harsh weather, however, and by 1867 they were deteriorated enough for Congress to find need for a newer station. The New Presque Isle Light was constructed in 1870, and the Old Presque Isle Light was deactivated in 1871. The old light currently serves as a museum.
