This is my favorite lighthouse along Minnesota's North Shore. If you arrive before 10am you can enter grounds for free, but after 10am an entrance fee is charged. It's a small price to pay to help preserve this well-maintained piece of history. A visitor center houses a theater, historical displays and a gift shop. In addition to the light itself, the fog signal building, three keepers homes and their associated barns/garages are preserved. The view from the bluff is incredible and the friendly staff dresses in period costume to complete the experience.
For Photographers
There are a number of vantage points for taking the oft-seen shots of the light: the highway overview; the lighthouse grounds itself; the tram-way stairs has viewing platform about half-way down; and a short walk toward the campgrounds provides the view pictured here.
