Renovations to Begin
This spring the lighthouse will undergo repair and restoration as part of the waterfront redevelopment project in the city. The windows have been protecting the lighthouse since 1909 and need repair to the original condition so that the lighthouse can remain on the Wisconsin Historical Register and maintain it’s eligibility for the National Registry.
Fundraising Goal for the Kewaunee Lighthouse
Our goal is $ 30,000.“It’s a complicated restoration,” said Jayne Conard, President of the Friends. “ There will be scaffolding on the outside of the lighthouse, and there are thirty windows to repair or replace.”The windows are made of wood, many are covered on the outside. The windows will include an aluminum storm when finished.
