Split Rock Lighthouse
Perched 130 feet above Lake Superior on its north shore is picturesque Split Rock Lighthouse. Built in 1909-10, at a cost of $75,000.00, Split Rock guided ships with its beacon for nearly 60 years until radar rendered it obsolete. From it’s beginning Split Rock attracted tourists, but until a road was built in 1924 it was accessible only by water. The construction of the lighthouse was possible only after hauling materials up the cliff with a steam powered hoist. The prism quartz lens was ground in France in the late 1800’s. It was first lit with a kerosene lantern but was replaced by a 1,000-watt elec- tric bulb. The beacon, which can be seen for 22 miles or more, is only visible on November 10th; the anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Now part of the state historic sites system, Split Rock is the most visited historic site in Minnesota.
