Oswego West Pierhead Lighthouse

There have been lighthouses at the mouth of the Oswego River as it flows into Lake Ontario since 1822; the current one is the fourth iteration. In season, boats run here from the H Lee White Marine Museum; the rest of the year, take your chances negotiating the uneven stones of the breakwater, or admire it from afar.
