Two Rivers Light

Two Rivers Light is a wooden skeletal tower structure standing about 11 meters tall that originally stood on Lake Michigan's shore. The tower now resides at the Rogers Street Fishing Village Museum where visitors can see it displayed.

The original lighthouse was established in 1852 and operated until 1858 when a new structure was built at the northern breakwater's tip. This shift marked an important change in the region's maritime safety approach.

The lighthouse represents the maritime traditions of Two Rivers, where generations of residents maintained strong connections with Lake Michigan navigation.

The lighthouse is now housed at the Rogers Street Fishing Village Museum and accessible from May through October. Plan your visit during these open months and check ahead to ensure guided tours are available when you arrive.

The structure was electrified in 1928, replacing the original oil-based system that had supported navigation for decades. This upgrade allowed for more reliable and efficient lighting before the tower was finally deactivated in 1969.
