Lighthouses are an important part of Door County's heritage.
The county's 250 miles of shoreline, much of it rocky, gave need for lighthouses so that sailors of the 19th and early 20th centuries could safely navigate the lake and bay waters around the Door Peninsula. Door County Maritime Museum 120 N. Madison Ave.
