This lighthouse for this week is connected to my Highway 41 end-to-end Streetview trek, which is at this moment approaching Green Bay. I noticed this lighthouse while collecting views.
It/they (there are two) have their own page: Grassy Island Range Lighthouse
which says (this is all of it):
"These two matching lighthouses were once located on Grassy Island, used to guide boats into the Green Bay Harbor. Built after the harbor was completed in 1871, the towers stood on either side of the island. The northern light was 25 feet tall, while the upper light stood at 35 feet. In the 1960s, the Green Bay Yacht Club relocated the lights. In 2005, they were fully restored."
Another page on them, from Lighthouse Friends: Grassy Island Range, WI
Below, go see what the rear lighthouse looks like. It's hard to separate the two, photographically.
