The Barcelona Lighthouse in Chautauqua County is a fascinating piece of history that I highly recommend checking out.

Don't let the fact that it's only 40 feet tall fool you, this lighthouse has stood strong since 1829. And let me tell you, I've seen my fair share of lighthouses in my time and this one stands out.

Dunkirk Lighthouse

The Dunkirk Lighthouse, located in Chautauqua County, is a fascinating slice of history that's worth exploring. Built in 1826, this impressive structure served as an important guiding beacon for sailors navigating the treacherous waters of Lake Erie. With its unique hexagonal shape and towering stature, the lighthouse certainly catches the eye. But what really makes it special are the tales of hauntings that come along with it.
