8 . Wisconsin’s Great Lakes are home to great lighthouses. Here are some lighthouses worth visiting along Lake Michigan, from south to north.

Wind Point, Racine

This 108-foot lighthouse on a point north of Racine was built in 1880. It’s open for tours and climbs up the tower from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. the first Sunday of the month, June through October, and from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. the Saturday before that Sunday, July through September. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for kids aged between 6 and 11. The park and beach around the lighthouse are open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

North Point, Milwaukee

This 74-foot lighthouse alongside a Queen Anne style keeper’s quarters is a landmark in the city’s Lake Park.

Tours are now offered from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday year round, plus from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday and Friday in the summer.
