The Marblehead Lighthouse in Marblehead, Ohio is the oldest lighthouse in continuous operation on the Great Lakes. Set on the Marblehead peninsula at the entrance of Sandusky Bay, the Marblehead Lighthouse has been a beacon of light on Lake Erie since 1822.

The grounds surrounding the Marblehead Lighthouse are immaculate with picnic area's, views of Cedar Point, Lake Erie and the Lake Erie islands.

Fifteen lighthouse keepers, including two women have tended the Marblehead Lighthouse that is currently maintained and operated by the United States Coast Guard with surrounding property maintained by The Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

The first Marblehead Lighthouse keeper was Benajah Wolcott, an early settler to Marblehead, Ohio. His duties included lighting the wicks of the original thirteen whale oil lamps, keeping logs of passing ships, noting weather conditions, and organizing rescue efforts on Lake Erie for ships and sailors in distress along the rocky shores of the Marblehead Peninsula.

The original Marblehead Lighthouse keepers home was small stone home on the Sandusky Bay side of the peninsula and is the oldest surviving home in Ottawa County.

Now maintained by the Ottawa County Historical Society and on the National Register of Historic Places, tours and events that include potluck dinners, concerts and historical reenactments are provided with shuttle service between the Marblehead Lighthouse and Wolcott Keeper's House available.
