The Rich History of Lighthouses In Wisconsin - Off The Record Podcast
Shortly after retiring, former DNR employees Ed and Sandy Miller started working at Eagle Bluff Lighthouse in Door County after seeing an ad in the newspaper.
The lighthouse, which was built in 1868, stands on a bluff at Peninsula State Park and not only aids boats through the treacherous bay in the summer, but also helps cross-country skiers, snowmobilers and ice-fishers find their way in the winter when the water is frozen over.
The lighthouse is still functioning today, and has been an operating light for 151 years.
Listen in as Ed and Sandy, our guests on this episode of the Wild Wisconsin: Off the Record Podcast, give an overview of the lighthouse’s history, their role with giving tours and when they say is the best time to visit (hint: it’s fall).
