  at $6.00 it's worth the price of admission, plus it supports a good cause. take the guided tour and go to the top of the lighthouse  more »

  You can climb up to the top and look out. The building is pretty. The museum is well done and, at least on this day, we had a guided tour of the contents.  more »

  I Love This Place! Take The Tour! A Must See! I make it a point to visit the Sodus Bay Lighthouse & Museum every year I go up to Upstate NY! The lighthouse/museum staff are very friendly and informative. You learn about various historical facts and events like the life of the lighthouse keeper then and now, the town, the war of 1812 and so on. You'll see ships navigation tools, tools to run a lighthouse, the "footprint" of the original lighthouse, etc. The best part is climbing up the spiral staircase to see the actual light and look out to see Lake Ontario, Sodus Bay, the Active Lighthouse and Chimney Bluffs ❤
