Maine may be called 'The Lighthouse State,' but there may need to be a name change.

In the entire state of Michigan, there are 129 lighthouses.

Due to that huge number, Michigan is the state with the most lighthouses in the entire United States of America.

Holland Harbor Lighthouse, Holland

Beloved named the "Big Red," this lighthouse is considered Michigan's most photographed lighthouse.

"Big Red® has stood tall in the Holland Harbor for nearly 100 years. Through rain and shine, through blistering summer days to cool autumn evenings. From the Icy austerity of Winter's relentless march as it gives way to the promise of Spring."
