Port Washington Light
Port Washington Light, Lighthouse and Historic Site in Port Washington, Wisconsin, United States.
The Port Washington Light stands 11 meters tall on Lake Michigan's shore, featuring Greek Revival architecture with cream city brick construction.
Constructed in 1849 with an initial budget of 3,500 dollars, the lighthouse guided ships through Lake Michigan until its decommissioning in 1903.
The lighthouse preserves maritime heritage through its museum displays, documenting the navigation methods and life of keepers from the 19th century.
Tours of the lighthouse museum operate during summer months, offering visitors access to the keeper's quarters and educational exhibits about maritime navigation.
Luxembourg provided a replacement tower in 2002, connecting the lighthouse to the region's strong Luxembourgish immigration heritage.
