You don't even know how much you don't know about lighthouses! Sure, I climbed the 72 steps to the top of the lighthouse. Yes, the views were amazing & I took plenty pictures. An , of course, I now want my own lighthouse! The unexpected treasure was the history & explanation of how lighthouses function. The 'keeper' was a plethora of information, which, he shared willingly.

This was such a nice experience to go visit! It was an easy drive from Chicago here. The port area will allow you two see two lighthouses, with the original one set further back. The history was fascinating. It was nice to tour the lighthouse keepers' home (two families lived there at once!) and see how that was restored too.

Small museum, great information from the guide. Nice view from the lighthouse.

Recommend that everyone check out all of the free museums in Kenosha! This one was an interesting study in how lighthouses functioned and how the keepers lived. This site had a female keeper back when that wasn't the norm. Also interesting to find out about the ships that divers can check out off these shores. The curator has a wealth of knowledge to share.
