Devil's Delights: A Chilled-Out Guide to Lake Superior's Lighthouse Tales

Devils Island Light Station, a picturesque Queen Anne-style keeper's quarters standing 22 meters high, was put up by the Yanks from the U.S. Lighthouse Service in 1896. The island, though tranquil on the surface, hides a secret in those old, whispering structures: the Tramway and Engine Building. Now gathering dust, they still project a nostalgic aura over Lake Superior. The steam-powered Tram, which once hauled oil up the hill to the lighthouse, still stands sturdy. Alongside these, you'll find the preserved oil houses, dock, boathouse, and signal building. As part of the vibrant Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, these Apostle Islands Lighthouses have been valuable additions since 1977. Devils Island Light may not be a National Historic Landmark, but back in 1928, Prez Calvin Coolidge dropped by for a visit.
