点评:This 1868 lighthouse that is still in operation also serves as a very nice museum to educate the public about everyday life for the lighthouse keeper and his family from 1883-1918. The personable, knowledgeable tour guide very effectively communicated the history of the building and duties of Captain Duclon, his wife Julia, and their seven sons. A Duclon relative gave the lighthouse some of the family’s original furniture and helped them decorate each room exactly as it would have been during their 35 years there. Since I am a professional pianist, it was very interesting to hear how the small original piano that is there now was taken out and in the window along with the many other instruments as the family performed often in the area. It is easy to drive a car near the lighthouse and park in the lot that has a vault toilet, which is a very smelly outhouse for emergencies. (I recommend using the real restrooms with flush toilets at the Headquarters near the park entrance or at Nicolet Beach.) The tour was definitely worth the $5 fee!
