Other Lighthouse Information:
Sherman Memorial is on the 22 acre Lighthouse Island. It's in honor to the resident, Jack Sherman, who designed and built the lighthouse. It's a tribute to his family legacy and is going to be a museum. The groundbreaking was on April 24, 2003. It survived a lightning strike on August 26, 2003 the day before the lantern room was hoisted and set in place on top of the lighthouse. There are 76 steps up the spiral stairs of the 75 foot lighthouse. The 24 foot high aluminum and glass lantern room is equipped with the kind of beacon that a small regional airport would use. The rotating light was installed on November 10, 2004. The base is 16 feet in diameter and has six floors and a basement. It is decorated to showcase his collection of more than 280 lighthouse replicas. The commemoration was on September 17, 2006. They have one tour date in May, August, and October from 1:00-5:00 pm. Private tours are available. The Allegheny River is 60 miles southeast of Lake Erie.

The Lighthouse Hunters Experience:
We heard about this lighthouse in 2009 and had to see it for ourselves. Jack Sherman did a wonderful job on the lighthouse and with the beautiful landscaping all around it.
