Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse
Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse, Stone lighthouse on Lake Ontario in Rochester, United States.
The Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse features a 12-meter octagonal sandstone tower with a lantern, standing near the mouth of the Genesee River.
Constructed in 1822 for $3,300, this lighthouse guided ships through Lake Ontario until 1881 when newer structures replaced its navigational function.
The lighthouse museum exhibits maritime navigation tools and includes displays about the local women's suffrage movement during the 19th amendment period.
Visitors can access the lighthouse from May through October, Friday to Sunday between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM, with adult tickets priced at $5.
The structure remains the oldest surviving lighthouse on Lake Ontario's shores, featuring its original 1855 fourth-order Fresnel lens installation.
