We left Clayton, NY and drove almost 400 miles to Westfield, NY. We stayed at the Lake Erie KOA.
Thursday, June 23, 2016 - Once Missed!
In the morning we drove to Dunkirk. Here are some of the pictures of original houses (built in the 1800's) still standing, having been nicely renovated by their owners. Part of the War of 1812 took place here.
We then visited the Dunkirk Lighthouse. This lighthouse was built in 1875. This light acted in tandem with a pier head beacon to guide ships to the safety of the Dunkirk Harbor. It was refitted with a 3rd order Fresnel lens and lantern in 1857 and remains and aid to navigation today.
