Oldest gas lit light house in US, cool!
Scott W.

We passed this lighthouse on the way to Niagara Falls and had to turn back to see what it was all about. Currently (May 2024), the lighthouse is closed for structural repairs; regardless, you can still get a great view of it from the road. At one time this town was called Portland Harbor but changed the name to Barcelona in the early 1800's. The lighthouse happens to be one of the oldest oil-lite lighthouses still standing from the 1800's; however, transitioned to natural gas in 1831, making it the oldest natural gas lit light house in the U.S., and the world, pretty cool! It's a bummer we couldn't go inside or get a closer view, but it's remarkable that it's still around today, 5-stars because old things especially lighthouse's rule!

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! The lighthouse was closed due to some fixing that needed to be done, but the location and the little park along Lake Erie is a definite stop when you are in the area. I highly recommend you stopping by and checking it out. Free to walk around and look around. Not sure what the lighthouse fee might be since it was closed. It sits along side the lake near a marina area...gorgeous views of lake erie

Who doesn't love a lighthouse? Soon to be under renovation for public access according to workers, this lighthouse stands as a historic marker for the town of Westfield, NY. The lighthouse was built in 1829 at a height of 40 feet and a cost of $3,456.78. Its use as a lighthouse was short lived as it was decommissioned 30 years later in1859. FINAL THOUGHTS Definitely one of the most unique lighthouses I've ever visited an one of the first I had privilege of visiting on Lake Erie. We often think of lighthouses only on ocean shores and forget the Great Lakes are so enormous they can often have both the look and feel of an ocean. It's a beautiful drive along the lakefront, so get out and enjoy!

See all
