Sherwood Point Lighthouse
Sherwood Point Light, near Idlewild, Wisconsin, has been marking the west side of the north entrance to Sturgeon Bay since 1883. It was the last manned lighthouse on Lake Michigan when, in 1983, it was automated by the US Coast Guard. Local legend suggests that the lighthouse is haunted by the ghost of Minnie Hesh Cochems, one-time Assistant Keeper, and the wife of one-time Lighthouse Keeper William Cochems. The Cochems raised their family here. Minnie passed away, at the lighthouse, in 1928.
