of the historic Southport Lighthouse. Celebrating its 150th Anniversary in 2016 and listed on the Wisconsin and National Registers of Historic Places, it’s one of three lighthouses to have existed on this site and one of two that remain along Kenosha’s Lake Michigan shore today. The 55-foot tall Southport Lighthouse was built in 1866 with Milwaukee Cream

Originally designated as a coast and harbor light, the station was the first navigational light a mariner would see upon entering Wisconsin from Chicago. At the turn of the century, the Hill Steamboat Company dominated activity in the harbor, transporting passengers and freight for local manufacturers such as Nash Motors, American Brass and Simmons Company. Today, the preserved Southport Lighthouse and keeper’s house are open seasonally for tours. Guests can climb the lighthouse and experience breathtaking views over Lake Michigan and Kenosha’s shoreline. The two-story keeper’s house has been restored and now serves as the Southport Light Station Museum. It features artifacts and exhibits on Kenosha’s lighthouses and keepers, its shipping and commercial fishing past, local shipwrecks, and more maritime history. See Page 20 for seasonal hours and contact information. COVER PHOTO BY KEVIN POIRIER

KENOSHA

— an artful community —

If you’re looking to add a dose of culture to your vacation, the Kenosha Area delivers beautifully. Its burgeoning arts scene is evident everywhere you turn and no matter the art form, you’re sure to find something to appreciate here. Galleries and arts centers showcase local, regional and national artists’ work in permanent and visiting exhibits. Local theater troupes entertain and inspire from historic and intimate stages. Live music of all genres flows from concert halls, local clubs and outdoor festival places. Even a walk along Kenosha’s Lake Michigan harbor becomes an artful experience with dozens of sculptures, monuments and other examples of public art. Downtown Kenosha features a number of distinctive wall murals, unique handpainted storefront signs, and amazing historic architecture inside and out. You can even tap into your own inner artist with hands-on art classes at galleries and museums, make or paint your own creations at local pottery studios, or step into the spotlight at an open mic night or acting class. Just like creativity, the possibilities are endless for enjoying the arts in the Kenosha Area. See pages 20-21 for a list of local arts venues, and go to VisitKenosha.com/Events for a complete list of arts and cultural events throughout the year.

KENOSHA AREA Lake Michigan Adventure If you’re looking for a Great Lakes adventure, a charter fishing excursion on Lake Michigan is a great way to spend a morning or afternoon on the water. With the highest catch-per-hour rate in Wisconsin, you’re bound to have some great fish stories to tell! All fishing equipment is provided for you from rods to bait, and the captains are ready to help with baiting your line, reeling in your catch and even cleaning and filleting your fish. If you have your own boat, Kenosha has two full service marinas, plus a wonderful public launch site on Simmons Island, complete with a fish cleaning station.

Calmer Waters If smaller waters are more your style, large mouth, small mouth, crappie, trout, muskie, northern, and many pan-fish can be found in Kenosha County’s inland lakes. Fishing piers and shore fishing are available at these locations, and small boats are allowed in most. Bundle up and try your luck at ice fishing in the winter months for a new adventure!

TIP — You can take your fresh fish to one of two local restaurants — Boat House Pub & Eatery and tg’s Restaurant & Pub — to have it prepared for a dine-in experience. Boat House Pub & Eatery also smokes fish! Talk about full service! Call ahead if possible. See page 48 for locations and phone information.

DOWNTOWN KENOSHA

The heart of a community is often found in its Downtown… that inviting and friendly gathering place that welcomes you to hang out and enjoy life, friends and family. That area of town filled with small, locally-owned shops, restaurants and galleries that epitomize what community is all about. Downtown Kenosha is that place, and just steps away from the Lake Michigan shore, this walkable neighborhood is a vibrant hub of dining, shopping, and entertainment opportunity. It’s surrounded by unique attractions such as museums, lighthouses, beaches and an authentic electric streetcar system that offer countless things to see and do year-round. It’s also a hotspot for many special events, from free outdoor concerts and classic car shows to marathons, food festivals and historic reenactments. The arts scene in Downtown Kenosha is a big part of its personality and is evident in the many galleries, exhibit spaces and performance venues located here. Enjoy live theater at a historic opera house. Be inspired by a symphony orchestra or dance ensemble. Catch an outdoor concert along the lake and under the stars. Captivate your imagination at any number of art and history exhibits. Shopping in Downtown Kenosha is as unique as it gets with distinctive shops and boutiques offering everything from upcycled home décor and pet supplies to comic books and fashions for the whole family. It’s a destination that leaves the big box stores behind in favor of shopping small and personal service from Downtown shopkeepers. Downtown’s dining and nightlife options are equally impressive with a wide array of choices from refined to casual. Choose from diners and bistros, coffee shops and bakeries, pubs and burger joints — plus ice cream, popcorn and pastry shops to tempt your sweet tooth. Whether breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, you won’t go hungry in Downtown Kenosha! VISITKENOSHA.COM

If there is one thing you should know about the Kenosha Area, it is that good food is easy to find! If taking a culinary adventure around the world is what you crave, you’ll find everything from the best sushi restaurant in southeastern Wisconsin to not-so-traditional Mexican fare. Kenosha’s Italian heritage is evident when you visit family owned and operated favorites and our region’s German roots shine through in menus, too. It just wouldn’t be a trip to Wisconsin without an order of fried cheese curds or a visit to a traditional supper club — complete with Brandy Old Fashioned cocktails, of course. From gastro pub delights to twisted creations, we can promise you won’t go home hungry. VISITKENOSHA.COM
