8/30/2025 - Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse

I took my wife to visit another lighthouse.  It was a bit tricky getting here as Maps seemed to struggle figuring out exactly where we were and where the entrance to the parking lot was.  We eventually found it though.  The history of it was quite fascinating and the gentleman that took us to the top of the light was very knowledgeable and friendly.  Not too many pictures as the views were a bit limited.  Much of the land surrounding the lighthouse wasn't actually there when it was constructed.  Rather it was built up from yearly dredging of the river.  Over time, this land became valuable and was built up with businesses.  Still a neat visit though.

Site Notes: The grounds are really all that is accessible and there are several nice little flower beds around.

Note: The only picture from the top that wasn't full of reflections.  All you see here is what they term "reclaimed land" built from the dredging of the river.
