EXPLORING FAIRPORT HARBOR

With Finnish heritage, a relaxing beach vibe, and the two wonderful lighthouses, I can’t wait to return to Fairport Harbor to explore more of this charming Ohio village!

Visitors can walk along the breakwater to marvel the lighthouse from afar, but cannot tour the privately-owned lighthouse.

Fairport Harbor Lighthouse was originally built in 1825. After years of deterioration, the lighthouse was rebuilt in 1871, to stand at sixty-feet tall.
