Chambers Island Light, Historical lighthouse in Gibraltar, Door County, Wisconsin
The brick lighthouse structure extends to a height of 67 feet with an octagonal shape and stands on the northwest side of Chambers Island.
Congress allocated 25,000 dollars in 1866 for the construction of the lighthouse, which began operations under keeper Lewis Williams on October 1, 1868.
The lighthouse represents maritime navigation heritage and received recognition through its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
The lighthouse grounds remain accessible by private or charter boat, though the main structure stays closed to regular public access.
The original lighthouse function transferred to a skeletal tower in 1961, which maintains a visibility range of 12 nautical miles across Green Bay.
