Eagle Bluff Lighthouse The 1868 lighthouse still guides vessels through the narrow Strawberry Channel. In 1964, after successful restoration efforts, the Door County Historical Society opened the lighthouse to the public. In 1970, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The State of Wisconsin assumed ownership of the lighthouse, 1.21 acres of land, a "keeper’s quarters," oil house and privy on Oct. 16, 2003.
Eagle Tower High above the Niagara Escarpment on Peninsula's northeast shore stands one of the most popular attractions in Door County. Obtaining a bird’s eye view in Peninsula State Park has been a tradition for over 100 years, beginning in the early 1900s with the first Eagle Tower. The tower was originally constructed by hand for use as fire lookout tower on top of Eagle Bluff. The tower eventually turned into a tourist attraction. The tower is 60 feet high with the top observation deck sitting 253 feet above Green Bay.
The original 1914 Eagle Tower was dismantled and completely rebuilt in 1932 using modern machinery, horses, and tractors, and wrapping cable around nearby trees to raise the support poles. The newest Eagle Tower (the third) opened in 2021.
