Eagle Bluff Lighthouse, Peninsula State Park. Construction of the Cream City Brick building was begun in 1868. The plan is the same as for the Chambers Island lighthouse, but the tower's shape is square to help mariners distinguish it. Its original Third and a Half Order lens was replaced by a Fifth Order lens in 1918, and automated in 1926. The house is open for tours during the summer.

Eagle Lighthouse, Peninsula State Park. Since the lighthouse sits on top of a 40 foot bluff, it only needed to be 43 feet high to reach an adequate height above the water. It is constructed of Cream City Brick, manufactured in Milwaukee and known for its strength.
