Minneapolis Shoal Light
The Minneapolis Shoal Light Station is a light house located in northern Green Bay, 6.6 miles south of Peninsula Point near Big Bay de Noc, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. Nineteenth century shipping traffic into Escanaba, Michigan went by way of Peninsula Point; to guide the traffic there, the Peninsula Point Light was established in 1856. However, by the 1930s, shipping traffic had shifted far south of the point, and in response funds were appropriated for the Minneapolis Shoal Light Station in 1932. Construction was completed in 1934, and the light was first lit in 1935. The station was later automated in 1979, and is still in use.
