Lighthouse · Racine, Wisconsin
Racine Harbor Lighthouse
The tower was first lit in 1866 and no longer serves as a light for ships. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The lighthouse at the mouth of the Root River, whose tower was capped with a hip roof after the light moved in 1903, stands beside the 1903 life-saving station.
