Sheboygan Lighthouse, Maritime navigational structure in Sheboygan, United States
The 36-foot tall conical brick tower with red and white markings stands at the entrance of Sheboygan Harbor on Lake Michigan.
Congress allocated $20,000 in 1837 for the construction of this lighthouse, which began operations in 1839 with Stephen Wolverton as the first keeper.
The lighthouse represents a fundamental part of Sheboygan's maritime heritage, with its structure reflecting typical Great Lakes architectural patterns of the 1830s.
Visitors can walk along the breakwater pathway to reach the lighthouse and observe Lake Michigan from multiple viewing points throughout the day.
During the winter of 1892, Keeper Amos Carpenter remained trapped inside the lighthouse when ice completely sealed the entrance after a severe storm.
