In January of 1831 Port Clinton, Ohio was but a baby city having only been founded in 1828 yet in the "CONGRESS" section of the Virginia Free Press & Farmers' Repository in February, 1831 they announced there had been a resolution to built a light house in Port Clinton. Upon some minor research (okay, okay, I Googled) I discovered that this isn't the lighthouse currently standing in Port Clinton but its predecessor. The small lighthouse currently standing was built in 1896 and while the government isn't necessarily known for its speed this is most likely in regards to the stone lighthouse built in 1833. Like I said the government isn't known for speed but two years is better than sixty-five. 😀 The original article can be found here and more information on both light houses complete with pictures of the beautiful stone light house can be found here.
