The Vermillion Lighthouse
The 34 foot Vermillion Lighthouse, flanked by the old Maritime Museum, was built in 1991 at the foot of Main Street in Vermillion, OH in memory of the previous two lighthouses that previously stood in the area between 1847 and 1929.
Lake Erie Light
Built in 1991, the Vermillion Lighthouse was fitted with an electric light in a Fresnel Lens and was subsequently sanctioned as a US Coast Guard navigational aid.
The Long Light of Lake Erie
The lens in the Vermillion Lighthouse is powered by a single 100 watt equivalent LED bulb. As such, the light can reach 10 miles out on Lake Erie.
