While only accessible by private boat the grounds are open for touring and picnicking. Located in the Thousand Islands about 4.5 miles northeast of Clayton Jefferson County New York off of Fisher's Landing. We saw the light from the water on a GLLKA tour ARLHS # USA-970 The light originally was at Vermillion Ohio. This light can be seen with binoculars from Tibbets Point but for a good view a boat or plane ride is required. It can easily be seen if one takes route 12E into Cape Vincent. Once (?-1934) mounted on the breakwater of Cape Vincent this light has now been moved to front the village offices. ARLHS # USA-848Ĭape Vincent Breakwater (relocated) (NY 21) This photo shows the light then (moving to the left) the fog horn building finally the fuel storage building (which now is a paint shed). There was a light here in 1827 made out of rubble stone this light was erected in 1854. On tiny Horse Island just a hundred yards or so offshore from Sackets Harbor. The island is about 12 miles from historic Sackets Harbor, New York, about 10 miles from Henderson Harbor. (Don't confuse this with the Stony Point on the Hudson River.) NY38 ARLHS # USA-814 (As you might expect take this to the end.) Please respect their privacy and stay on the public road. It was erected in 1869 (replacing a light built in 1830) but deactivated in 1945.įrom NY 3 take Military Rd on the south side of Henderson Harbor to Lighthouse Road. Once again this light is now a private residence. To get here follow NY 3 to County Road 5 the go to the end. All the other lights were upgraded in the 1850's but since this light was decommissioned in 1858 it was not upgraded. Note that it has the original "bird cage" housing for the light. If you're interested this light (and the adjacent Marina) is for sale. However a long lens allows some of us to avoid swimming and make it look like we were really pretty close. This light is quite a ways from shore so the best way to see it is to use a boat. It is on the very end of the channel that lets boats into Sodus Bay. It is now a museum although the keepers house was used by the Coast Guard till 1984 (the light was decommissioned in 1901). Unless you start from the light below and look due West (the picture on the right is that view (with the long lens)). This light was constructed in 1870 (replacing an older light from 1825). Like all the modern ones it is fully automated and shows a good case of terminal "uglies". It is built on the site where Indians used to camp and where the William Hincher family settled in 1792. This lighthouse is on the west side of the Genesee River at its connection to Lake Ontario. ARLHS # USA-075Ĭharlotte Genesee 1822 Lighthouse (NY 11) ![]() Turn left on Clearview avenue and you'll find the light on the lake side. North of Rochester take the Lake Ontario State Parkway east to NY 222 (Lighthouse Road). The original tower was 110' tall but had extensive damage so the owners only restored the essence rather than the complete tower. It's nearly a duplicate of a light that was in Cleveland OH from 1829 to 1895. This has recently been resold and it is in the process of being opened for viewing. Take Lake Road (NY 18) east from Fort Niagara 30 miles to Golden Hill State park. This light was in use from 1875 to 1958 when it was replaced by a steel tower nearby (no picture available) Take the Robert Moses Parkway as north to the Fort Niagara State Park. Latitude 43° 15' 42.5" N longitude 79° 3' 37.5" Wįort Niagara Built in 1872 out of local limestone this is no longer in use (thus the trees which conceal it pretty well from the water). ![]()
