Program Description

Event Details

Door County Wisconsin boasts one of the highest concentrations of lighthouses of any county in the United States. With its lengthy coastline, much of it rocky and treacherous, mariners of long ago relied heavily on these sentinels for safe travel. All of the county’s 11 lighthouses will be explored, with special emphasis on Cana Island—Door County’s most visited lighthouse. Archival and contemporary photography will be a highlight of the program. Presented by Barb and Ken Wardius, both of whom have researched extensively and written several books about Wisconsin's incredible lighthouse history. 

Please Note: This presentation will be filmed by the Sun Prairie Media Center for later broadcasting and streaming.
