Welcome to the OFFICIAL WEB site of the CHARLOTTE-GENESEE LIGHTHOUSE HISTORICAL SOCIETY

     lighthouse

Thank you for your interest in the Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse. The lighthouse is located in the village of Charlotte (at the Port of Rochester, NY) . The Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse Historical Society is entrusted to maintain the Lighthouse property including the Keeper 's House and Tower for the County of Monroe which owns the property and buildings on it. The lighthouse was built in 1822. The Current Keeper’s House was built in 1863 to replace the original one which was just to the south of the current building. Our regular weekend tours begin on Saturday, May 10, 2008 and will end on Oct. 26, 2008. Other times Special Group Tours are available by calling (585) 621-6179 for an appointment. The photo above was taken on 1/7/08 and is lighted by our new flood lights. Click Here for Satellite View of Lighthouse, then @ address enter 70 Lighthouse St, Rochester NY.
