The General Services Administration is offering the Duluth Harbor South Breakwater Outer Light, first established in 1901 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, at no cost to eligible entities, which includes federal, state and local agencies, nonprofits, educational agencies or community development organizations. The lighthouse can then be used for education, park, recreation, cultural or historic preservation purposes.
