Also in Lake Erie (although in Pennsylvania), Presque Isle Lighthouse opened in 1873. The keeper and family had to walk 1.5 miles from the Lighthouse to a boathouse at the appropriately named Misery Bay. From there it was a lengthy row followed by more walking to the town and school. The Lighthouse was opened to the public in 2016, hosting 30,000 visitors, 13,500 of which paid to climb the 40-foot tower. The first photo is dated 1911.
