Eagle Bluff Light, Historical lighthouse in Peninsula State Park, Wisconsin
Eagle Bluff Light is a lighthouse on a 76-foot (23 m) limestone bluff rising above Green Bay in Peninsula State Park. The structure includes a tower connected to a keeper's residence and overlooks the Strawberry Channel, a vital shipping passage on Lake Michigan.
Construction of the structure began in 1868 to help guide vessels through a busy shipping corridor. Lighthouse keepers managed its light until automation technology arrived in 1926.
The lighthouse gets its name from the high rocky ledge where it stands, and the Door County Historical Society maintains it as a museum today. Visitors can see how the keepers lived and worked in this remote location.
The lighthouse is open to visitors from May through October with guided tours available during daylight hours. It is helpful to wear comfortable shoes since reaching the light requires climbing interior stairs.
Two basements are carved into the bedrock of the Niagara Escarpment beneath this structure. One lies below the tower itself while the other extends under the keeper's former residence.
