Description
After the conclusion of the Civil War, the Lighthouse Board sent a committee to the western Great Lakes in 1865 to examine the navigational needs of the area. One of the resulting recommendations was a lighthouse on Eagle Bluff that would help commercial ships pass through Strawberry Channel, situated on the eastern side of Green Bay between the Strawberry Islands and Door County Peninsula. Congress appropriated $12,000 for the project on July 28, 1866, and that October President Andrew Johnson set aside twelve acres of public land for the project.
