The Raspberry Island Lighthouse: A Piece of Wisconsin's Lake Superior History,

Perched on Raspberry Isle, smack in the heart of Lake Superior, the Raspberry Island Lighthouse has been a faithful navigator for seafarers since 1862. It's one of the last vintage wooden lighthouses on the lake, keeping the style with a sturdy square tower and cozy keeper's quarters, a bit like a Cornish pasty. The light got automated in 1947, but she's still shining bright as a beacon, flickering white every 2.5 seconds to be a guide for sailors.

Luckily, it's not all sailors and sea breeze here – the original Fresnel lens can be found at the Madeline Island Historical Museum. But the lighthouse itself is a contributing property to the National Register of Historic Places, added in 1977. During the summer months, it's a bit like trying to grab that last slice of pizza at a party, but during the Annual Apostle Island Lighthouse Celebration, ferry tour service is available, allowing a closer squint. Just remember, it's not a fairground, so no pushing in line for the donut with the best sprinkles.
