The Ashtabula Harbor's lighthouse was established in 1836, and rebuilt

still active. The original Fourth Order Fresnel lens was replaced in 1995
and the old unit is currently on display at the Great Lakes Marine and US
Coast Guard Museum in Ashtabula. This museum was the original Keeper’s
house for the light and offers spectacular views of the harbor, coal dock
and lighthouse. The light is located on a long breakwall that could be
very treacherous to walk to the light, so the best way to see it closely
is by boat. The light does not offer tours, however there are hopes of
renovation work to be completed at an undetermined date.
