The Baileys Harbor Upper Range Light is a historic lighthouse located in Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin. It was built in 1869 to aid navigation on Lake Michigan. The lighthouse, along with the Baileys Harbor Lower Range Light, formed a range light system to guide ships safely through the harbor entrance. The Upper Range Light is a skeletal tower made of cast iron, standing approximately 42 feet tall. Its design is distinctive, with a central cylindrical tower surrounded by a lattice framework, allowing the light to be visible from a distance while minimizing wind resistance. Originally, the light was fueled by kerosene and featured a Fresnel lens, which emitted a powerful beacon visible over the lake. In 1969, the Baileys Harbor Upper Range Light was decommissioned and replaced by a modern automated light system. However, the structure was preserved due to its historical significance and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Today, the Baileys Harbor Upper Range Light is maintained by the Door County Maritime Museum and is open to the public for tours during certain times of the year. Visitors can climb the tower to enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding area and learn about the history of the lighthouse and maritime heritage of the region.
