Seul Choix Point Lighthouse (pronounced Sis-shwa) marks a small harbor on Lake Michigan located on the south shore of the Upper Peninsula.
Fayette Historic Park and Harbor features well-preserved buildings from when the town was a once-bustling industrial community that manufactured charcoal pig iron in the late 1800s.
