Long Tail Point Lighthouse, Wisconsin

The Long Tail Point Lighthouse near Green Bay, Wisconsin, gets its name from a penninsula it once sat on that resembled the flowing tail of a horse. This combination tower and dwelling, was the second of three Long Tail Point Lighthouses and stood for more than seventy-five years. It met its “Water-loo” in the 1930s when a local man purchased the lighthouse and tried to move it across the frozen bay to another site. It broke through the ice and was crushed.
