Keeper’s View: The Challenges of Building Split Rock

Celebrate Split Rock’s 113th birthday with food, fascinating stories and a breathtaking lighthouse beacon lighting. Hear first-hand accounts on the difficulties of building the light station from the man that designed it through a costumed interpreter. A 30-minute guided tour will highlight many early stories about the difficult construction of Split Rock with a costumed interpreter. Guests can register for one of seven evening guided tours. When not on tour, watch the original educational film, Tribute to the Age of Steel. The event will have a lighthouse beacon lighting at 9 pm.

Guests are encouraged to dress for the weather, bring a headlamp, bug spray and folding chairs as seating is limited for the meal. For more information call 218-226-6372 or [email protected]
