The Ashtabula Lighthouse, located at the far eastern edge of Ohio's Lake Erie coastline, was built in 1905, the third lighthouse to grace Ashtabula harbor. The structure, which sits on the Ashtabula breakwater, was manned until 1973, the last of the Lake Erie lighthouses to remain manned.

Today, the Ashtabula Lighthouse has been restored and is open to the public and houses the Ashtabula Maritime Museum.
