Point of Shoals Lighthouse | |
![]() Confederates made a raid on the lighthouse during the Civil War. In 1871 the lighthouse was severely damaged by ice flows and was rebuilt the same year. The lighthouse was automated in 1932 and deactivated in 1933 after it was rendered unnecessary when the channel was moved towards the opposite side of the river. It was torn down in the 1960s.
