The Presque Isle North Pierhead Lighthouse, established in 1858, is one of three lighthouses that safeguard Erie, Pennsylvania's natural harbor at Presque Isle Bay. Originally marked by a wooden beacon, the lighthouse has undergone various upgrades, including the installation of a sixth-order Fresnel lens in 1854 and the construction of a new wrought iron tower in 1857.

Throughout its history, the lighthouse has been central to enhancing maritime safety within the region, adapting to changing technologies and conditions. It stands as a testament to the area's rich nautical heritage and the efforts to navigate the challenging waters of Lake Erie.

Hammermill Center

The Highmark Events Center, formerly known as The Hammermill, is a 2,800-seat basketball arena located on the campus of Gannon University in Erie, Pennsylvania. Home to the Gannon Golden Knights, the center also hosts the university's acrobatics and tumbling, women's volleyball, and wrestling teams. Originally named the Gannon Auditorium, the facility was rededicated as the Hammermill Center in 1983 in honor of the Hammermill Paper Company's donation. In 2022, the center received a new name, Highmark Events Center, following a major donation from Highmark Health to support renovations and improvements to the facility.Generated from the website
