Raspberry Island Light
Raspberry Island Light, Wooden lighthouse in Bayfield County, US.
The Raspberry Island Light features a 43-foot wooden tower with a square shape, red roof, and an attached building on Lake Superior's western channel.
The lighthouse began operations in 1863 after receiving its French-made lens, following construction efforts initiated by Henry Rice, a St. Paul politician who founded Bayfield.
The Wisconsin State Historical Society Museum on Madeline Island displays the original Fresnel lens that guided ships through Lake Superior until 1957.
Visitors can access the lighthouse during summer months through the Apostle Islands Cruise Service water taxi or by private boats from mainland Wisconsin.
The lighthouse required two assistant keepers to operate the coal-fired steam whistle fog signal installed in 1903 to support increased shipping traffic.
