Sodus Bay Lighthouse Museum

The Sodus Bay Historical Society operates the Sodus Bay Lighthouse Museum, which is housed in an 1870 Lighthouse. Museum displays include both local historical items and Lake Ontario related maritime items. The Museum is open five days a week from May through October. A self-guided tour pamphlet is available. Visitors may also climb the tower for a magnificent view of Lake Ontario, stroll through the gardens, or browse in the museum gift shop. Our July Independence Extravaganza features a 5-K race, and our free outdoor concerts (which run from July 4 through Labor Day weekend). We feature such popular artists as Gap Mangione's Big Band, John Dady, Loren and Mark, and many other well-known musicians. A variety of music styles can be heard throughout the summer, and attendance averages 500 and above each Sunday. Volunteers operate a food concession for concertgoers, and there are an ice cream social held during the season. Our beautiful grounds are a popular spot for weekend weddings, and we are always booked up from spring through fall. Our volunteer gardeners tend the lovely gardens that surround the lighthouse. The gardens are visited throughout the summer by area garden clubs. Above all else, the Sodus Bay Historical Society is about our historic lighthouse and the wonderful artifacts housed within. We offer our many lectures and other programs to entice visitors to our location and to be a good neighbor to our extended families in surrounding counties. We are one of the most photographed sites on Lake Ontario and attract over 20,000 visitors each year.
