Lighthouse · Washington Island, Wisconsin
Pottawatomie Lighthouse
The tower, first lit in 1858, is dark now. The working light, one white flash every 4 seconds, stands nearby, about 50 m away. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Wisconsin's oldest light station: the limestone schoolhouse-style lighthouse in Rock Island State Park opens for tours from Memorial Day to Columbus Day, and a steel tower just south of it carries the light.
