Wisconsin Artist Drawing Local Harley Art.

Hello Riders,

I rode up to Milwaukee often while living and working out of Chicago in the mid ’90s. Great city with great people this town… Let me share with you one of my favorite riding destinations in all ofÂ Wisconsin…The North Point Lighthouse.

There’s something magical about old lighthouses.

I love the history behind old lighthouses. The North Point Lighthouse stands 75 feet high and onceÂ protected the brave mariners of Lake Michigan. This local landmark is a must see while attending the 110th Anniversary of Harley-Davidson. You’ll get aÂ spectacular view of Lake Michigan and of the Milwaukee skyline if you climb to the top of the tower.

The North Point Lighthouse is located in Lake Park.Â ItÂ was originally built in 1851, placed on the National Register of Historic Lighthouses in 1984 and taken out of commission by the U.S. Coast Guard in 1994. A complete tower restoration was completed in 2006. Today, the North Point Lighthouse and the Keepers QuartersÂ are totally restored and providing locals and visitors with many a good memory of a time gone by when mariner’s lives depended on that light in that lighthouse.

One proud MilwaukeeÂ local loves the Lighthouse too. He even drew it on a little card for all to enjoy. Â

Local artist, Doug LeTendre, is the guy behind “Little Pictures by Doug, LLC”. He makes cardsÂ in honor of everything Milwaukee and Wisconsin. What’s great about Doug is that he offers his original, hand-made cards for only $20 for a pack of 10. He’s now working on a card to commemorate the 110th Anniversary. Cool art I must say. Click on Doug’s CardsÂ Â to see a sample of his original art.

Doug has a new card under drawing construction being prepared forÂ sale around the 110th Anniversary weekend. Â I love it! It’s got a bit of an old style edge to it and it’s even a little quirky.Â Simply charming you could say.
