The Town of Sturgeon Bay felt that it was important to be proactive in setting ground rules for development so as to insure that the future of the town reflect the wishes of its residents. in 2000 a volunteer committee was established to develop such a plan. Because input from citizens is so important in developing a comprehensive plan, a community survey was sent to every registered voter and/or land owner in the town. The survey asked about citizen concerns and preferences for all areas involved with the future of the town. areas covered included housing, transportation, agriculture, environment and culture, economic considerations, and land use. forty six percent of those who received the questionnaire responded. The results of the survey showed that 74% of the respondents felt that the town should establish planning guidelines for future development.

YES Automated? YES 1973 Deactivated: N/A Foundation Materials: PIER Construction Materials: STEEL Tower Shape: CYLINDRICAL Markings/Pattern: RED Relationship to Other Structure: INTEGRAL Original Lens: FRESNEL Range: 16 Miles Characteristic: Red, Isophase 6 sec. HISTORICAL INFORMATION: Ahnapee grew rapidly in the mid to late 1870s and became the home to the largest commercial fishing fleet on Lake Michigan. When the government would not approve a lighthouse to mark the entrance to the harbor, locals erected a couple of post lights at the outer end of the two piers at the harbor entrance. Congress finally appropriated money to build some range lights in 1891 to mark the entrance of the harbor at Ahnapee which was renamed Algoma. The light was built in 1892 after new piers were completed but the light was not lit until the beginning of the 1893 shipping season. The piers were unique in that they were split and off-set. There was not a single continuous pier. To get to the lighthouse a bridge had to be built to span the gap between the off-set portions. The range initially consisted of a front post light and a wooden skeletal tower rear range. In 1895 the rear range tower had an upgrade to the lens. A fifth order lens was installed that increased the range from 9 miles to 11 miles.

  • Locations Guide for the Light Keeper's Legacy
    Locations Guide for The Light Keeper’s Legacy Book 3 in the Chloe Ellefson Historic Sites Mystery Series Written by Bestselling Author Kathleen Ernst Published by Midnight Ink Books An Island’s History Holds Clues to a Modern Mystery Museum curator Chloe Ellefson jumps at the chance to spend time on Wisconsin’s Rock Island, a state park with no electricity or roads. On temporary assignment from Old World Wisconsin to consult on restoring the island’s historic lighthouse, her research turns up tough-as-nails women from the past. Chloe’s tranquility is spoiled when a dead woman washes ashore. Is it an accidental drowning, or has tension over tighter fishing regulations reached a dangerous boiling point? When a second body is found, Chloe finds herself trapped with a killer on remote Rock Island. Author Kathleen Ernst writes at the intersection of people, places, and the past. That is especially true of her award-winning Chloe Ellefson Historic Sites series. This guide has been developed to help readers locate and learn about the places where key scenes in The Light Keeper’s Legacy are set. All the locations in the book are real—and can be visited. The two main characters in the series are Chloe Ellefson and Roelke McKenna. They reside and work in the southeast corner of Wisconsin. Chloe lives in the rural farming community of LaGrange and works as curator of collections at Old World Wisconsin, a large outdoor history museum just south of the Village of Eagle. Roelke (pronounced Rell-key) lives in the nearby village of Palmyra, and is employed as an officer with the Eagle Police Department.
