Split Rock Lighthouse Triple Match!

Come for the view. Stay for the story. 

Donate to keep history alive.

Once you see Split Rock Lighthouse, you never forget it. Jutting out of a 130-foot cliff on Minnesota’s spectacular north shore of Lake Superior, it’s one of the most iconic lighthouses in the country. And that’s only possible with your support.

Please send a gift to the Minnesota Historical Society to keep Split Rock Lighthouse shining into the future. Your gift will be triple-matched through November 17!

It’s not just the gorgeous views that bring 160,000 guests to Split Rock each year. It’s the story. Because when you visit, you step back in time. 

• You explore the fully intact 1910 light station, the original Fog Signal Building, the oil house, and the lighthouse keeper’s home—all beautifully preserved and brought to life with your support.
• You fund groundbreaking archeology projects at Split Rock Lighthouse and learn new stories of the past.
• You become part of the story through unique events, like the popular Edmund Fitzgerald Beacon Lighting ceremony on November 10 each year.

Split Rock Lighthouse is just one of 26 historic sites and museums in the MNHS network. Your support is crucial to keep these treasures alive. And now is the best time to give, because one anonymous MNHS member has generously donated to triple-match your gift! That means your gift of:

• $1,000 becomes $4,000
• $500 becomes $2,000
• $75 becomes $300
• $20 becomes $80

Keep history alive. Donate today!

Your gift will be used for the Split Rock Lighthouse or wherever it’s most needed at MNHS.
