The Lighthouses of Door County WI : Lake Michigan Road Trip

If you spend any amount of time traveling around the Great Lakes, you'll quickly realize the importance they once (and still do) served as a shipping and transportation hub of the central part of the United States. In the mid-late 1860's a series of lighthouses started popping up on the shores of Lake Michigan.

During a recent trip around Lake Michigan, the 50 Campfires team decided to stop by and check out these historic light houses that are sprinkled across the Door County landscape. There's definitely something mysterious - yet intriguing about these beacons of light that help ships safely pass the rugged shores of this great lake.

Thanks to the Door County Maritime Museum for the primer! If you're in Sturgeon Bay, be sure to stop by and check out their exhibit:

Kenosha Lighthouse, Wisconsin, USA from Travel with Iva Jasperson

Kenosha Lighthouse, Wisconsin, USA from Travel with Iva Jasperson

Hello everyone...
The Kenosha North Pier lighthouse or Kenosha Light is a lighthouse located near Kenosha in Kenosha County, Wisconsin.

A typical 'Lake Michigan red tower', it is a sibling to the Milwaukee Pierhead Light. This light was built in 1906 as a replacement for the old Kenosha Light.

The station was established in 1856. This pierhead light is one of a succession of lighthouses in this location, which were needed as the structures were destroyed by natural processes, or became obsolete as the piers were greatly extended.

Located on the north pier, it is listed in the United States Coast Guard light list and the United States Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System as the Kenosha Light. It currently is painted red, but the lighthouse also has been painted white in the past. The adjacent south pier and breakwater also had lighthouses, but now have cylindrical navigational lights. These included fog signal buildings and elevated iron catwalks, all of which have been removed.

In June 2008, the Kenosha Pierhead Lighthouse was deemed excess by the Coast Guard. Pursuant to the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000, it was offered at no cost to eligible entities, including federal, state and local agencies, non-profit corporations, educational agencies, or community development organizations. A deadline of July 21 was created for qualified organizations to express interest. At this time, no organization came forward.

In 2011, the excess property was put up for auction and was purchased by John Burhani and Heather McGee. The lighthouse is currently being used as an art studio and gallery as its name now conveys; Kenosha Lighthouse Studio. Art shows, open to the public, can be found on the kenoshalighthousestudio.com website. The Kenosha Lighthouse Studio is open for individual dinners/meetings and other events.
