Southport Light Station Museum

About

Kenosha’s newest museum, the Southport Light Station Museum, consists of the 1866 Southport lighthouse and the 1867 Lighthouse Keeper’s residence. The lighthouse tower, former lightkeeper’s residence and surrounding grounds represent the fourth gallery space of the Kenosha History Center. The Kenosha History Center undertook restoration of the Keeper’s residence in order to preserve the history of local light keepers and Kenosha’s fishing and shipping heritage. The Southport Light Station is open from mid-May through October.
