Currently owned by the National Park Service and part of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, as reference number 83003366. Listed in the Library of Congress, Historic American Buildings Survey, WI-325 and WI-325-A. One of the oldest skeletal lighthouses on the Great Lakes, it played an important role in transportation on Lake Superior.[4] {{stack|}}A square wooden tower, constructed in 1858, was located around {{convert|3000|ft}} west of the current light.[5] The previous lens was moved to the Chequamegon Point Lighthouse in 1897.
