A fresh snowfall and a bright winter sky make the Neenah Lighthouse so appealing! And the cold temperatures kept all but the most determined tourist away. The Neenah Light is also known as the Kimberly Point Lighthouse. It is located in the Kimberly Point Park in Neenah, Wisconsin. This lighthouse marks the entrance of Lake Winnebago into the Lower Fox River. In 1872, John Alfred Kimberly was one of four men who founded Kimberly Clark and Company at Neenah, Wisconsin. The success of the company permitted the Kimberly family to make significant contributions to the City of Neenah. Helen Kimberly Stuart, daughter of John A. Kimberly, donated land overlooking the confluence of the Fox River and Lake Winnebago to the city's park system in 1929. A decade later, the Kimberly family offered to erect a functional lighthouse on the land, then known as Kimberly Point Park, but the outbreak of World Ward II interrupted these plans. In 1944, Helen's brother, James Cheney Kimberly, donated funds for the lighthouse, and Flour Brothers Construction Company of Oshkosh constructed the present structure the following year. The tower, which includes a comfort station in its base, was built of brick and Haydite block and cost $7,500. When first built the tower stood forty feet tall, but it was raised to a height of forty-nine feet in 1954. Today, the top of the tower is topped by a weathervane in the shape of a sailboat. In 2009, the Neenah Landmarks Commission added the Kimberly Point Park Lighthouse to the Neenah Register of Historic Places. This designation gives the Landmarks Commission the authority to review proposed alterations to the exterior of the lighthouse, which will help maintain the architectural and historic character of the structure. Three years later, in 2012, the city's Landmarks Commission received confirmation that the lighthouse had been placed on the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places by the Wisconsin Historical Society.FEATURED PHOTO, Midwest America group, 11/2/14FEATURED PHOTO, Images that Excite You group, 10/29/14FEATURED PHOTO, Light House Images group, 2/24/131 A DAY - Photography Showcase Newspaper group, 2/1/513
