Great Lakes Seaway Trail Lighthouses

Some of the unexpected treasures I've found when navigating the scenic byway Great Lakes Seaway Trail from Niagara Falls to Alexandria Village - historic lighthouses!  I have missed some because I didn't really plan for this, just something out of the blue when checking what to see along the route from google maps. 

Fort Niagara Light, Youngstown.
1872 (current)

Olcott Light, Olcott.
1873 (original), 2003 (replica)

Thirty Mile Point Light, Barker.  1876

Rochester Harbor Light, Rochester.

Sodus Point Light / Sodus Bay Light
Sodus Point. 1825

Sodus Outer Light, Sodus Point. 
1858

Tibbetts Point Light, Cape Vincent.
1827 (original), 1854 (current)

Rock Island Light, Saint Lawrence River.
1848

Sunken Rock Light, Alexandria Bay.
1847

There are more than 20 historic lighthouses on the Great Lakes Seaway Trail, and these are just the few I have seen on this road trip.  I have missed some, which is enough to keep a note to myself to plan for it and see all of them next time.  

Besides these lighthouse detours,  I have found other treasures on this road trip and wrote a story about it - A Road Trip Story.
