Online at ccjefferson.org/tasteny Dissolve from black: Narrator: The Seaway Trail stretches nearly 500 miles along the shores of the St. Lawrence River, Lake Ontario, the Niagara River, and Lake Erie. America’s longest designated National Recreational Trail, The Seaway Trail runs from Massena, New York, to Erie, Pennsylvania. It was designated a National Scenic Byway in 1996 and is designed for motorists, boaters, and bicyclers. Along the shores of the Seaway Trail, from Ogdensburg, New York, to Erie, Pennsylvania, are approximately twenty-five lighthouses. These lighthouses are each unique in architecture and history. Some were built to welcome ships into a busy harbor; others built to warn mariners of rocky shoals or islands. Whether protecting ships from peril or marking the entrance to a port, a lighthouse was always a welcome sight to the sea-weary mariner. Early lights on the Great Lakes were built mostly of stone materials and housed the Winslow- Lewis lamp. -

Abstract Illuminating the Lighthouse
Abstract Illuminating the Lighthouse: An Historical and Archaeological Examination of the Causes and Consequences of Economic and Social Change at the Currituck Beach Light Station By Bryan Scott Rose November 2017 Director: Dr. Nathan Richards Department of History, Program in Maritime Studies The purpose of this project was to gather historical and archaeological data to illuminate potential relationships between economic and social investment in lighthouse complexes, and enhance an understanding of the multitude of factors that drive the establishment and development of lighthouse communities. The community surrounding the Currituck Beach Light Station in Corolla, North Carolina served as a case study for this thesis. Historical and archaeological information was gathered from several sources and was assessed for correlation. Analysis discovered that most change occurring at the lighthouse compound and community was due to investment in technological advancement. Most recent changes resulted from resource preservation and tourism investments.
