Sodus Point Light, Historical lighthouse in Sodus Point, United States
The lighthouse features a square cast iron tower structure on a concrete pier, displaying white coloring with red decorative trim along Lake Ontario.
Built in 1871 for $14,000 using limestone from Kingston, Ontario, the lighthouse guided vessels entering Sodus Bay until its deactivation in 1901.
The Sodus Bay Historical Society transformed the limestone keeper's quarters into a museum that receives 20,000 visitors annually from different countries.
The museum operates from May through October, providing guided tours, a gift shop, restrooms, and maintained gardens for visitors to explore.
The lighthouse structure contains a rare 3.5 order Fresnel lens on display, while standing 45 feet tall with a focal height of 70 feet.
