Charlotte–Genesee Lighthouse
America's Oldest Surviving Lighthouse is located in Rochester, New York on Lake Ontario. The tower was constructed in 1822 on a hill just West of the Genesee River on the southern shores of Lake Ontario. The current Keeper’s House was built in 1863 and the Tower is 40 feet high with an additional 12 feet of height for the lantern room. There are 42 steps and then an 11 rung ladder that takes you into the lantern room.
