"Kenosha Overview" by DaimlerChrysler, c. 2001; from UAW Local 72 Collection

This video was produced by Chrysler to showcase their improvements to the Kenosha Engine Plant. In less than ten years, the plant would be closed during Chrysler's restructuring after bankruptcy and acquisition by Fiat.

Kenosha County Historical Society is a campus of two buildings with four exhibit galleries, a gift shop, staff offices and our Archival facility. The Kenosha History Center houses the main offices, three exhibit galleries, the gift shop and our Archives. The Southport Light Station, located next to the History Center building, features the fourth gallery.

The Southport Light Station is composed of the 1866 historic lighthouse and the adjacent 1867 historic Lighthouse Keeper's home. Both floors of the Lighthouse Keeper's home have been restored to a 1908 time period. The Southport Light Station Museum focuses on the shipping industry, fishing, lighthouse keepers and the live saving station. The Southport Light Station Museum is open mid May through the end of October.
