Sodus Point Light

Sodus Point Light is a historic lighthouse located in the village of Sodus Point in Wayne County, New York, marking the eastern entrance to Sodus Bay on Lake Ontario. The present limestone tower was constructed in 1870–1871 to replace an earlier 1825 light station and served as a primary navigational aid guiding vessels into the bay. The lighthouse was discontinued in 1901 as pierhead beacons assumed channel-marking functions. Since 1985, the structure has operated as the Sodus Bay Lighthouse Museum.
