Lighthouse · Racine, Wisconsin
Southport Light Station
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 Cream City brick tower on Simmons Island was replaced by the north pier light in 1906; restored with a replica lantern, it opens with the keeper's house museum on summer weekends.
