Eagle Bluff Light Station Grand Opening Celebration
June 26, 2026 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Join the Door County Historical Society as we celebrate the Grand Opening of Eagle Bluff Light Station following a major restoration and reconstruction project begun in 2024.
The lighthouse, oil house, and privy have been restored, and the barn and summer kitchen rebuilt—bringing the site back to the Duclon era (1883–1918), when William Duclon lived here with his family. Now visitors can experience what life was truly like at the lighthouse—both as a home and a vital navigational aid in Door County’s history.
We are grateful to the donors, grantors, workers, and volunteers who made this possible.
