About Rogers Street Fishing Village

This museum complex on the banks of the East Twin River in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, preserves the history of commercial fishing on Lake Michigan. Visitors can board the 1936 wooden fishing tug Buddy O, see an antique marine engine, and climb the 1886 North Pier lighthouse, which holds a restored Fresnel lens. A reconstructed French Canadian fisherman's house and a newer exhibit building cover Great Lakes Coast Guard history and shipwrecks, including artifacts from the Vernon and the Rouse Simmons. The site is on the National Register of Historic Places and includes six historic buildings. Group tours are welcome.
