The Lighthouses of Lake Erie

By Sandy Mitchell, About.com Guide

For over a century, the lighthouses of Lake Erie have guided ships into the many North coast harbors. Today, many of these gracious structures have been restored and still stand along the shore, from Sandusky to Ashtabula. Some are in ruins, yet somehow picturesque; others welcome visitors with museums and visitors' centers. Join me for a tour of these unique buildings, starting at Port Clinton and traveling east. You won't even have to rent a boat.
