About Marquette Maritime Museum

This museum in Marquette, Michigan focuses on local seafaring history, Lake Superior, and the iron ore trade. Since 2002 it has been linked with the Marquette Harbor Light, an active navigation aid still overseen by the Coast Guard, and visitors can take guided lighthouse tours. The site also honors submarine veterans and runs as a nonprofit that depends on tickets, gift shop sales, grants, and donations. Its homepage currently says it is closed for the 2026 season.
