The North Point lighthouse is an appealing structure, tucked away in an almost unnoticeable park on the bluff north of the Milwaukee Harbor. The museum offers fascinating information about lighthouse lenses, former lighthouse keepers, shipbuilding, and some of the vessels & crews lost in the lake. I loved learning that a woman, Georgia Stebbins, served as Lighthouse Keeper in the 1880s. She hauled barrels of mineral oil up to the top of the lighthouse every four hours every night for over 26 years! An excellent panoramic view of Milwaukee and the entire lake shore is the reward for climbing the circular stairs and ladder to the top. There is a paved walkway along the bluff that runs past an elegant statue of Brig Gen Erasmus Walcot, Surgeon General of Wisconsin during the Civil War and thereafter, mounted in his horse. A few few hiking trails and stairways afford access to the lake level. The walk past the small Lake Park waterfall is appealing.
