During a recent vacation on the Maine coast, my bride and I visited a couple of very impressive lighthouses that captured our imaginations. This inspired us, after we got home, to take a series of daytrips to the various lighthouses in our own back yard on the U.S. side of Lake Ontario.
Our first trip of this project was to Sodus Point, about 50 miles west of our house and about 40 miles east of Rochester. The village of Sodus Point is a charming little tourism-focused town with a sandy beach and a marina situated on Sodus Bay.
There are actually two lighthouses in Sodus Point, which are in close proximity to each other.
From Wikipedia:
Sodus Point Light is a lighthouse that was built on Sodus Point on Lake Ontario, New York. The lighthouse has been replaced by a modern skeleton tower. The lighthouse tower is a square, pyramidal cast iron tower on a concrete and stone pier. It is white with red trim. There is a 2 1⁄2 story limestone keeper’s quarters that was built in 1871, which is currently used as a museum.
