BEAUTIFUL LIGHTHOUSE IN CAPE VINCENT, NY…read more====================================== My husband and I drove out to Tibbetts Point Lighthouse on Friday, November 15, 2024 while my son was at work. We should have checked the hours a bit better because Google said it was open, but it was closed for the season. It was still pretty from the outside, but very cold with the wind. This lighthouse is located at the end of the Great Lakes on Lake Ontario and the beginning of the St. Lawrence River. The property consists of three acres of land that was donated by Captain John Tibbetts in the early 1820's. In 1985 the new tower was built and is still in operation today. It has the only Fresnel lens still in operation on Lake Ontario. It can be seen from sixteen miles away. A foghorn was added and put into service in 1896. Down below there is a telescope that visitors can use. Points of interest are marked on the railing. If you are visiting the North Country I highly recommend a visit to Tibbetts Point Lighthouse.

The tour guide did a wonderful job of answering questions and leading our large group through the exhibits. It also seems like the fort puts on great programming for kids and families, with Victorian school lessons and interactive exhibits. All the staff were friendly and engaging and seemed to be enjoying themselves. We will definitely come again if we are back in this area!

SACKETS HARBOR BATTLEFIELD IS A MUST VISIT…read more======================================= Sackets Harbor Battlefield State Site is on the waterfront in Sackets Harbor. The War of 1812 battlefield was located here. The War of 1812 was between the U.S. and Great Britain and lasted from 1812 until 1815. There are lots of historic monuments and buildings around this area along with lots of walking paths along Lake Ontario. It can be really cold with the wind blowing off the lake so bring layers. We stayed in an Airbnb in April for several days and the downtown area has a few really good restaurants. We love Good Fellos and have been there multiple times. The Whiskey Coop is another good restaurant. Bring comfy shoes and walk all over the battlefield area.

Ah! I wish I took more photos. Sackets Harbor is such a quaint and quiet North Country town in the…read more1000 Islands region of NY. After a long day at the battlefields for a lacrosse tournament, we went across the harbor to visit the Naval Yard, Commander and Lieutenant homes and walked the trail. I can't believe I didn't take more pics, but was soaking it all in. Sackets Harbor has so much history, yet is such a sleepy little town. If you're into history, Sackets Harbor is a place to visit.

The queue for the border crossing into Ontario is better here than in the Buffalo area, but the…read moreline is still slow and requires patience. There appear to be only 3 traffic lanes approaching the customs station, but they widen into 6 or 7 lanes very near the destination. A lone agent stands in the roadway directing autos into one of the lanes in an attempt to keep the lines even and time most reasonable. Luckily, my agent in the booth was concise with his questions, and didn't feel the need to stare me down. He asked my purpose for visiting Canada, the person I was going to see, how long I planned to stay in his country, and whether I had any contraband (particularly weapons) in my possession. He was satisfied with my answers, and he welcomed me to Canada as he handed me back my passport. No complaints here. It is just difficult to find such experiences more than merely acceptable. I could never be a fan. Thank you, officer. It is great to be here.

This is a great place to come for some peace and quiet…read more I love hanging out on the lower level in the back where there are lots of comfy chairs to relax in. The enormous floor-to-ceiling windows in the back give a great view of the Lions Civic Gardens and the creek that runs through it.
