BUFFALO LIGHTHOUSE PARK

Off limits to the public since September 11, 2001, the Buffalo Harbor Lighthouse could only be viewed from a distance since it resided on the U.S. Coast Guard Base. Long awaited plans for the Buffalo Lighthouse Park started to become reality during 2010 as the Coast Guard began to reconfigure the layout of the base so that it could be kept secure while permitting unimpeded access to the light by the general public. Buffalo Lighthouse Park opened unceremoniously late in October 2011. It is a jewel of the harbor.
