Lighthouses ready for fall close-up during annual festival

Door County's leaves may be at 20 percent fall colors, but the area's lighthouses and attractions are at their peak this weekend for the Door County Maritime Museum's Fall Lighthouse Festival.  More than a dozen tours are already sold out, according to DoorCountyTickets.com, with limited space available in more than two dozen others. The series of excursions allows you to explore Door County's lighthouses by air, by water, and by land, including sites not usually open for the public to see. Speaking ahead of the festival's spring event, Door County Maritime Museum Deputy Director Sam Perlman said they worked hard to make the area's maritime history available and accessible.

 

In addition to sites around Door County, the Kewaunee Pierhead Lighthouse and the Grassy Island Range Lights in Green Bay are also available for tours this weekend as a part of the Door County Maritime Museum's Fall Lighthouse Festival. Wayne Dunbar says the Grassy Island Range Lights have 150 years of history behind it, even though they have only been in their current location since 2019.
