    Yes! The lighthouse is open. Friendly and knowledgeable volunteers.
    Short walk with great views of Buffalo. Highly recommended.

      Buffalo Lighthouse was built quickly, in only 221 days. Next to this lighthouse there is a stone breakwater built to protect the city’s harbor. Lighthouse history in Western New York goes back to colonial days when the French had temporary beacons around for Fort Niagara.
