Historic Kirtland

Reviewed By SherriOhio - Northfield, United States

I went during the Christmas season to see the Nativities from around the world. They were interesting and there were lots of them. This is free to view and worth the stop if you are in the area. I am told that they have different ones each year. In the lobby they have a large nativity. I have been there two separate years and it has been hand made and nicely done. They also have some lights outside. It is not very large so it would take you about a half hour to an hour to look around. It depends on how long you view the nativities.

Fairport Harbor Marine Museum and Lighthouse

Reviewed By gehringj66az - Portage Lakes, United States

This 1871 tower and keeper's building in nearby Fairport Harbor have been on my bucket list for a long time. There is a local TV station that did a segment on Fairport Harbor and showed the dilemma they are facing at the lighthouse because of government lockouts resulting in diminished revenue for upkeep of this fine resource. That's what made me get up and go for a visit today. First I emailed the keeper for information on hours and prices so I could plan my trip a little in advance. I took a few photos around the tower and I will attempt to share them here. The museum has so many archives and relics from a bygone age of Great Lakes shipping (not SO very far in the past after all) that cannot be cataloged, in my opinion.
