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 highlight the presentation.
Ken and Barb are lighthouse historians and photographers. They offer several lectures that highlight Wisconsin's historical beacons. The presentations comprise stunning images, both historic and contemporary, in a combination of history and storytelling. Narrated live, the shows conclude with a question and answer segment. Programs can also be tailored to your individual group.
