Light Up the Baileys Harbor Rangelights

The Baileys Harbor Rangelights have been welcoming visitors to The Ridges area since 1870 – long before the sanctuary was officially established in 1937. Built in 1869, the lights were constructed to keep ships off the treacherous reefs and shallows at the entrance to Baileys Harbor.

The Ridges eventually took over maintenance of the lighthouse buildings, and is now in the process of raising funds for much-needed restoration work on the Lower Rangelight.

On August 18, Neal Vogel will present “Light Up the Rangelights.” During the program, he will describe the history of the Rangelights and share what he has learned in his preparation of a Historic Structures Report for the Lower Rangelight. The program will begin at 7 pm at the Baileys Harbor Town Hall and is free to the public. Donations to the Lower Rangelight restoration project will be accepted, and anyone donating $20 or more will receive an art print of the Rangelights by Phil Austin.
