Erie Land Lighthouse - Pennsylvania Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

Marker Text:

"The first lighthouse to shine on the Great Lakes. Created to aid navigation and promote shipping, the original 20-ft. beacon (1818) and the subsequent brick tower (1858) were built upon unstable soil. The sandstone tower (1867) was the 3rd built here."

Between 1990 and 2009 various restoration projects were completed at the site. Today the lighthouse has a buoy light in the lantern room.

The historical marker has been placed about 200 feet from the actual lighthouse in the southeast corner of Lighthouse Park.
