After visiting Chimney Bluffs, we headed to the Sodus Point Lighthouse which is on Sodus Point on Lake Ontario, New York. The original lighthouse has been replaced by a modern skeleton tower which is, of course, disappointing. There is also a 2 1/2 story limestone keepers quarters on the property. It was built in 1871 and is currently used as a museum. The pier and shore light served simultaneously from 1834 until 1901.
