Green Island Lighthouse, Ohio - 12/02/01 10:59 PM
Anyone ever hear of the Green Island Lighthouse? A friend of mine gave me a magazine entitled "Wild Ohio" (Summer 2001 edition). It is published by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources - Division of Wildlife. Green Island is located on Lake Erie and is an ODNR Division of Wildlife-owned wildlife area.
This lighthouse was built in 1864 and all that remains is the brickwork. It is surrounded by trees and it looks a little like Stonington, just a little taller. The article states that very few people even know that it exists. The article also states the Green Island in uninhabited and not open to the public, even though the lighthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places! From looking at the picture, it looks like the stonework is still in good condition. It's a shame that this unique light can't be saved for all to see!
