Description
Pierhead lighthouse sometimes called North Pier lighthouse is located in Kenosha Wisconsin, USA.
5001 4th Ave.
Kenosha, WI 53140
Located at Simmons Island Beach, 50th St. and Lake Michigan, this lighthouse is sometimes referred to as the North Pier Lightouse. It was built in 1906 and stands 50 feet tall. This lighthouse is privately owned, but still serves as the active lighthouse for the Kenosha harbor.
Local Kenosha artist John Burhani purchased the lighthouse and used it as his art studio for a time, now his wife Heather McGee owns the lighthouse. In honor of her late husband's memory, McGee has enlisted the help of other local artists to turn the lighthouse into a work of art. During the summer of 2016, an artist in residence program hosted artists at the lighthouse to paint portions of the structure to create a mural of multiple works around the bottom 5 feet circumference.
