Lighthouse · Green Bay, Wisconsin
Grassy Island Range Front Light
The tower was first lit in 1872 and no longer serves as a light for ships. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. One of the two 1872 wooden range towers from Grassy Island, moved ashore after they were retired in 1966; since 1998 both stand on a breakwater at the Green Bay Yacht Club, at the mouth of the Fox River.
