Split Rock Lighthouse
Split Rock Lighthouse | Minnesota Historical Society
2 posts
Built in 1910, five years after a catastrophic storm damaged thirty vessels on Lake Superior, Split Rock Lighthouse stands lonely watch atop the rugged one-hundred-foot cliff that made construction a unique challenge. This book tells the story of the powerful people who fought to have the beacon built and the modest keepers whose vigilance kept ships safe on the world's largest and most dangerous lake. Recollections by the keepers' children -- and family photographs -- recount the hardships and pleasures of life at the isolated North Shore sentinel.

Shining its light high above the waters, this lighthouse was built in 1910 on a cliff overlooking Lake Superior.

One of my favorite places is the north shore in Minnesota and I love this photo of Split Rock Lighthouse I took last summer. I did a lot of reading while enjoying the views of Lake Superior. #lighthouses #marchintoreading @RealLifeReading

TheWordJar At one point, a distant relative of my husband's lived in the house there to take care of it. I grew up in that area, but I've never been to the lighthouse. 8y
