www.americanpresstravelnews.com -Sept. 14th, Dunkirk, NY.- Bob and Barb “On The Road Again”- While visiting sites along Lake Erie, we visited Dunkirk, New York. The Dunkirk lighthouse is a must see if you are traveling through. The 61 foot tower still has its original third order Fresno lens. The lights 27-mile range makes Dunkirk one of the most prominent on Lake Erie. Tours include the original historic home of the lighthouse keepers along being able to go up to the lighthouse tower. The tale is that the home is haunted and has haunted tours. Go get haunted, ha, ha! For additional information visit their website at : www.dunkirklighthouse.com.
