Review:
The lighthouse is in the village of Wind Point, north of Racine. It was built in 1880 and placed in the National Register of Historical Places 100 years later. The Wind Point Lighthouse was initially built as a 108 foot tower, keeper's quarters and fog horn which was heard ten miles into Lake Michigan. In 1899, residences were added for two assistant keepers. The brick memorial path bears the names of all who worked on the lighthouse. In 1924, the light was electrified and in 1964 it was automated and the foghorn dismantled. The premises are open for tours on certain days of the year and the hall can be hired for private events.
