The oldest operating lighthouse left in Minnesota, Two Harbors Lighthouse first began guiding ships to the safety of Agate Bay in 1892. Now a seasoned veteran, the Lighthouse holds a worthy spot on the National Register of Historic Places. Located in the Lighthouse, the Harbor Museum explores the development of Agate Bay, where the first shipments of iron ore left Minnesota on their way to various ports throughout the country. Self-guided tours take you to the top of the light tower, where you'll find a spectacular view and the restored, turn-of-the-century Assistant Keeper's House. Also located on the grounds is the pilothouse from the Frontenac, an iron ore carrier that wrecked off the Two Harbors coast. The lighthouse is open daily in May, June, September and October from 9 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Saturday, and from 10 AM to 4 PM on Sunday; In July and August, the lighthouse is open from 9 AM to 7 PM, Monday through Saturday, and 10 AM to 5 PM on Sunday.
