SODUS POINT LIGHT, NY

ORDER NO. 212

HISTORY:Sodus Bay was long considered an excellent location for exporting products such as grain, lumber and coal from New York and Pennsylvania to Lake Ontario. The first lighthouse built in 1824 fell into disrepair during the Civil War and was replaced. The new tower was constructed and first lit in 1871. The new 45’ tower is built of cast iron and concrete has a 3-1/2 order Fresnel lens. Materials from the original tower were used to build a 70’ jetty. The Sodus Bay Historical Society maintains the lighthouse for tours. The keeper’s residence houses a museum, gift shop and library.
