This week, we shine a light on the enduring legacy of Marblehead Lighthouse, which has stood watch over Lake Erie since 1822. Located just across the bay from Cedar Point, this historic structure remains the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the U.S. side of the Great Lakes, guiding mariners with steadfast reliability for nearly two centuries.
Meanwhile, the Lake Erie Islands—home to beloved destinations like South Bass Island (Put-in-Bay) and Kelleys Island—continue to draw visitors with their scenic beauty and rich history. These islands, a short cruise north of Sandusky Bay, offer a glimpse into the region’s natural and cultural heritage.
Did you know Lake Erie’s name honors the Erie people, a Native American tribe who once thrived along its southern shore? Their legacy endures in the lake’s name, reminding us of the deep connections between the land, water, and those who came before.
