Two Rivers Lighthouse, located in Two Rivers, WI, has a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1850 at the mouth of the East and West Twin Rivers. Initially equipped with a single lamp and reflector, the lighthouse evolved over the years to include a sixth-order Fresnel lens and a pyramidal tower with a red light displayed from a Sautter Co. Fresnel lens.
Following its discontinuation in 1859, the lighthouse was replaced by a pierhead light on the north pier in 1886, connected to shore by an elevated walkway. The station, manned by Keeper Antony Gauthier, played a vital role in guiding vessels and ensuring safe navigation in the area, reflecting the maritime importance of Two Rivers as a bustling hub for leather and lumber exports.
