See a historic 19th-century light station and museum
We took the stairs up to the light station. There is a great view from the top. We took a quick look around and found a nice neighborhood surrounding it. I didn’t know there was a museum until reading reviews. I assume the museum was closed when we went.
The restoration of this lighthouse is superb from the furnishings to the floors and the exterior. Everything is immaculate. The docents are very knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic. You will need to sign a waiver to go to the top and the view is expansive. It's worth $5 or $6 per adult to contribute to it's care and learn more about the history of the area. Outside there is an anchor and a lifeboat from a couple of shipwrecks. Interestingly, if it weren't for Luxembourg it would likely not be what it is today.
We were traveling at the end of March from U.P. Michigan back to Chicago and visiting lighthouses on the way. All of them were closed for the season. At this one, we were lucky because keeper shows up and gave us a tour. Very interesting and informative. There is no parking, but you can park nearby on the street.
One of the many Wisconsin lighthouses on Lake Michigan. Visited on 6.26.2025.
