The below was taken directly from the
Information by Wcities on the
Yahoo covering the Buffalo Lighthouse.

Located near the Erie Basin Marina,
this lighthouse once guided more than
half a million immigrants to the city
and remained active until the First World War.

Built in 1833 and standing 68 feet tall,
the structure remained dark until 1987
when it was re-lit for the first Friendship Festival.
After restoration that started in 1985,
the lighthouse is now a Buffalo Lighthouse
Association museum.

The lighthouse is open for group tours and
by appointment, but the 1,400-foot South Pier
Promenade and Lighthouse Point grounds nearby are open daily.
