TWO HARBORS LIGHT HOUSE - TWO HARBORS, MN

The Two Harbors Light is the oldest operating lighthouse in the Minnesota. Overlooking Lake Superior's Agate Bay, the lighthouse is located in Two Harbors, Minnesota.

This was not a planned stop but those are usually the best, aren't they?

We saw a a sign that said Two Harbors and made a sharp left turn.  The town was so quaint and beautiful baskets of pink flowers were hanging from lamp post around town. 

You can pay to take a tour of the lighthouse and the pilot house but we  decided not to do the tour. There is also a bed and breakfast on site if you are looking for lodging.

We walked around the cove to the far side of the lighthouse.  

It was beautiful but very windy.

I just had to get a photo of this church.  

and the Courthouse.  You can't tell in the photo but the dome was beautiful.
