Many lighthouses have called Racine home, but none is more closely linked to the nautical heritage of Racine than Wind Point. Today, after 125 years of faithful guardianship, the Wind Point Lighthouse is the most well-known symbol of Racine and is a success story among Great Lakes lights. Celebrating the distinctive stories from this nautical treasure's past, authors Barb and Ken Wardius have created their book, Images of America: Wind Point Lighthouse.
On Tuesday, Feb. 5, at 6:30 p.m. the Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St., will host a presentation and book signing by Barb and Ken Wardius, featuring photographs and stories from their recently released book. Books will be available for purchase at the program.
Barb and Ken Wardius have traveled to, photographed and researched all of Wisconsin's existing nautical lights, becoming much sought after lighthouse speakers. They have authored two previous books: Wisconsin Lighthouses and Cana Island Lighthouse. Believing that lighthouse preservation is an important goal, the Wardiuses take pride in sharing their photography and historical studies with others.
This program is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the library at 262.636.9217 or visit the library's website at racinelibrary.info .
