MARBLEHEAD LIGHTHOUSE

Built in 1822, on Lake Erie's Marblehead Peninsula, she is the oldest continuous operating lighthouse on the Great Lakes. William Kelly was the contractor who built the 50 foot tall tower with a base 25 feet in diameter and walls 5 feet thick from native limestone. Benajah Wolcott, a Revolutionary War veteran, served as the first light keeper. Marblehead Lighthouse is owned and maintained by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Her beacon continues to be operated by the U.S. Coast Guard.
