The three day Door County Lighthouse Festival begins tomorrow which hosts tours that reach all of the eleven lighthouses in the county, including ones that are normally closed to the public like this one at Sherwood Point which is used by the Coast Guard for rest.
Sherwood Point Lighthouse’s fourth-order Fresnel lens was first displayed in 1883 and is the only lighthouse in Door County built with red brick instead of the native limestone brick. It was the last manned lighthouse on the Great Lakes when after hundred years service it was automated in 1983.
