Description

A number of lighthouses have known as Racine home, but none is more synonymous with the nautical heritage of the “Belle City” than Wind Point. All the time a beehive of activity, the Wind Point Lighthouse is among the larger lighthouse complexes at the Great Lakes, and a hardworking keeper, two assistants, and their families made their livelihood here. For over 125 years, the tall stately tower has faithfully stood guard, shining its bright beam out over Lake Michigan nightly. Countless mariners relied at the Wind Point Lighthouse, along side a booming trademark foghorn for protected passage. Nowadays the Wind Point Lighthouse is essentially the most well known symbol of Racine and is a success story among Great Lakes lights. A devoted friends group, in partnership with the Village of Wind Point, sees that the legacy and history of the Wind Point Lighthouse is preserved for future generations.
