The Ashtabula Harbor's lighthouse was
established in 1836, and rebuilt again in 1905
and 1916. The light has been automated since
1973 and is 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.
