Published: Sept. 22, 2023, 10 a.m.

On the western shore of Lake Michigan sits the city of Manitowoc, Wisconsin, a place known for its deep connection with the water. And along its shores, a lighthouse essential to the area’s maritime history stands tall, watching over the city. Molly Hunken climbs inside to take us on a tour of the Manitowoc Breakwater Lighthouse, which is part of the Wisconsin 101 project. It tells the history of Wisconsin through objects.
