Vermilion Lighthouse

The original Vermilion Lighthouse on the Vermilion River in Ohio was built in 1877 of cast iron from civil war cannons. The lighthouse was dismantled and shipped away in 1929 to Buffalo NY, and ultimately, decades later, it was found working on Lake Ontario!

This is a working replica of the lighthouse, and it still acts as an aid to navigation along Lake Erie marking the entrance to the Vermilion River.
