The Ogdensburg
Harbor lighthouse is located at the confluence of the St Lawrence
and Oswegatchie Rivers. The town of Ogdensburg, New York is
directly across the St Lawrence from Prescott, Ontario, Canada,
which is also now home to a replica lighthouse. The current
Ogdensburg Harbor lighthouse was built in 1870 and replaced a structure
with a lantern room that had served since 1834. The lighthouse
passed into private ownership in 1964 after the town of Ogdensburg
declined to purchase the property. The Rosenthal family, which
owns the lighthouse, has contacted the American Lighthouse Foundation
(ALF) in an effort to secure assistance with the restoration and
maintenance of the lighthouse. |
