The oldest lighthouse in continuous operation on the Great Lakes, Marblehead Lighthouse is one of Lake Erie’s best known and most-photographed landmarks. Poised on the Marblehead Peninsula, this historic gem rises from a rocky headland of limestone, reaching into the shimmering waters of Lake Erie. Open seasonally, visitors can climb to the top of the lighthouse for spectacular views of the lake and its islands in the distance. History buffs can explore the replica lifesaving station for insights into Lake Erie’s navigation hazards.
