Shipwrecks from a mighty 1905 November gale prompted this rugged landmark's
construction. Completed by the U.S. Lighthouse Service in 1910, Split
Rock Light Station was soon one of Minnesota's best known landmarks. Restored
to its 1920s appearance, the lighthouse offers a glimpse of lighthouse
life in this remote and spectacular setting. Tour the lighthouse, fog-signal
building and the restored keeper's dwelling. A visitor center features
an award-winning film, exhibits and a museum store.
Location: Split Rock Lighthouse State Park, 3713 Split Rock Lighthouse
Rd. Two Harbors, MN 55616 Minn. Hwy. 61, 20 miles northeast of Two Harbors.
