Lake Erie Coastal Ohio Trail
Great Lakes Marine Museum and Coast Guard Memorial Museum, OH
Lighthouse keepers took turns residing in this 1898 home, alternating shifts of sleeping at the lighthouse and staying warm and dry with family members on shore. One of six byway museums dedicated to preserving the maritime heritage of the Great Lakes, this site has the world's only scale model of a Hulett ore unloader, an invention that revolutionized efficiency of Great Lakes' shipping.
