Description
This beautiful old light station has been restored by the Port Washington Historical Society. Although not an active aid to navigation, a wonderfully reconstructed lantern room was placed on the structure in 2002. The light station is also a museum and houses many marine artifacts as well as period furnishings from the Historical Society's collections. Please contact the Port Washington Historical Society for the most recent information on public tours.
