The Erie Land Lighthouse was completed in 1867, and is listed on the National Register. First lit in 1818, it shares the distinction being the first Lake Erie lighthouse with Buffalo lighthouse. The current structure is the third built here. The 1858 Keepers House was decommissioned in 1899, then restored in 1989 and 2004.
