Vermilion, OH 44089

The Vermilion Lighthouse in Vermilion, Ohio, USA, is a historic beacon located on the shores of Lake Erie near the mouth of the Vermilion River. Erected in 1991 and dedicated in 1992, this 34-foot replica lighthouse stands as a tribute to the original structure that was removed in 1929.

Designed by architect Robert Lee Tracht and built by the Great Lakes Historical Society, the Vermilion Lighthouse features a 5th order Fresnel lens illuminated by a 200-watt incandescent light bulb, casting a steady red glow as mandated by the United States Coast Guard.
