Cana Island Lighthouse

Posted by on March 1, 2018

Built in 1869, Cana Island Lighthouse is located on a nine-acre site on Lake Michigan in Door County WI. It was frequently battered by severe storms, so much so that, after 16 years, one keeper left saying it was “one of the most inhospitable and undesirable places that can well be imagined.” In 1902 the tower was completely encased in steel plating. It is now the Door County Maritime Museum. The first photo is dated 1893.
