Built in 1900, the Tomahawk Lighthouse in Morson helped steer watercraft that carried passengers and goods from Kenora to Rainy River ports safely. It was operated by lighthouse keepers until it was automated in 1946. It has been restored and contains a museum devoted to early travel on Lake of the Woods.
