History
of the Light :
One of Wisconsin's oldest Lighthouses now
a private residence, and on the National Register as a historic site.
She served till the beginning of the twentieth century, when the
construction of the pierhead lights built in 1903 deemed her
unnecessary, however she did serve as a storm warning till 1953. In 1994 a
replica lantern room was constructed completing the lighthouse
restoration.
