Huron Harbor Lighthouse ~ Huron Ohio
The modern white steel light marks the entrance to the Huron Harbor. Its 72-foot-tall tower was built in 1936 on a pier that extends from the shore. F.P. Dillon and W.G. Will built two similar lighthouses the same year. Huron’s “sister” lighthouse stands in Conneaut. The light was formerly operated by remote control from a brick station on shore and had a lantern at the top. It was automated in 1972. The lighthouse is still operational and is managed by the U.S. Coast Guard. ~ ohioshipwrecks.org

Built in 1827 of Port Deposit granite by local contractor John Donahoo, who built thirteen of the earliest lighthouses on the Chesapeake Bay. Originally lit with 9 whale oil lamps; a Fresnel lens was installed in 1854. The first keeper, John O’Neill, was a hero in the defense of Havre de Grace in the War of 1812. Four generations of the O’Neill family maintained the light until automation in 1920. Decommissioned in 1975 as the oldest Chesapeake Light in continuous service. ~ hmdb.org

White Rock Forge Covered Bridge ~ Lancaster County PA 
West Octoraro #2
In 1845 citizens of Little Britain and Colerain Township petitioned for a bridge at "the road from Oak Hill to Union Meeting house.” The courts agreed that a bridge at this location was "necessary for the accommodation of the public” and the first bridge was completed in the winter of 1847 by Joseph Russell. It was swept away in June 1858 by a storm which damaged many mill properties. Heavy rains began on the night of June 25, 1884 and the Octoraro Creek became a "roaring river” higher than was ever known. The bridge at White Rock Forge described as one of the finest bridges around was quickly swept away again. Nearby citizens rallied to build a makeshift crossing by gathering timbers from the old bridge that were swept downstream. They worked together and built a substantial temporary bridge for only 47 cents, the amount paid for the nails. Elias McMellen rebuilt this bridge in the weeks that followed for $2,495. ~ hmdb.org
