Built in 1899 on the shores of Green Bay, Wisconsin, this lighthouse served as a vital navigational aid for vessels traversing the bay’s western waters. The third iteration of the Long Tail Point light station, it replaced earlier structures that succumbed to the elements. Now inactive and closed to the public, the lighthouse stands as a quiet reminder of Wisconsin’s rich maritime heritage. Visitors cannot climb the tower, but the surrounding shoreline offers excellent vantage points for photography, particularly during golden hour and autumn when the bay reflects vibrant fall foliage. Nearby attractions include Bay Beach Amusement Park, the National Railroad Museum, and Green Bay’s waterfront trail system, making it a worthwhile stop for lighthouse enthusiasts exploring the region.
