Perched on a bluff 76 feet above Green Bay’s waters, a third-and-a-half-order Fresnel lens in the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse was first shown on October 15, 1868. The fixed-white beacon was visible for sixteen miles in clear weather. Because the light tower was the highest point on the bluff, it was often struck by lightning which traveled the the circular iron staircase damaging furnishings and walls so it was a good thing it was a sunny day when I climbed the staircase.
