Description
Two Harbors Lighthouse of Minnesota by Bonnie Follett. - The Two Harbors Light House is the oldest operating lighthouse in the US state of Minnesota. Overlooking Lake Superior's Agate Bay, the lighthouse is located in Two Harbors, Lake County, Minnesota. The construction of the Lighthouse began in 1891. It was completed and opened in 1892.
When Minnesota's first commercial iron mine opened, the Minnesota Iron Company's Duluth & Iron Range Railroad began rail and shipping operations in 1884. The first shipment of iron ore was loaded on August 19th & 20th 1884, totaling about 6ooo tons. By 1885 roughly 225,000 tons of ore were moving through Agate Bay prompting the Vessel Owners Association and the US Lighthouse Service to recognize the need for a navigational aid at Agate Bay. On August 4th 1886 the US Congress authorized $10,000 to build a light station at Agate Bay.
