This octagonal brick lighthouse, standing 15 meters tall, was built in 1945 and first lit in the same year. Its exterior is painted white, with a black lantern roof. The structure incorporates public restrooms within its base. In 1954, the lighthouse was increased in height by the addition of a wood story. It is located in Neenah, Wisconsin, at Kimberly Point Park, marking the southern entrance from Lake Winnebago into the Fox River. The lighthouse is operational and displays a white light with one flash every 4.5 seconds.
Why it matters: Recognized as a state historic site in 2012, this lighthouse marks the transition from Lake Winnebago to the Fox River and is slated for a significant restoration in 2025.
