The tower was first lit in 1870 and is still an aid to navigation. Its light shows a steady white light, seen up to 17 nautical miles out. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 89-foot steel-clad brick tower on a small island north of Baileys Harbor, reached on foot by a causeway, is run as a museum by the Door County Maritime Museum.
