PACNY is sponsoring a tour of the Oswego Lighthouse on Saturday August 22, 2015 at 10:00 AM. The Oswego Lighthouse is one of Central New York’s most iconic landmarks. While it no longer serves as a working lighthouse, it is undergoing an interior and exterior restoration by the H. Lee White Marine Museum. PACNY is pleased to present this rare opportunity to visit the Lighthouse. You will be transported by boat from the West First Street Pier to see firsthand the restoration taking place. Representatives from the Museum will be there to tell you about the Lighthouse and the restoration. After visiting the Lighthouse your visit includes admission into the Museum with its wonderful displays and information about the marine history on the Great Lakes.

Casual dress and comfortable shoes will insure your visit is safe and enjoyable. Admission is $20.00 for PACNY members and $25.00 for non-members. This event is limited to 30 attendees. Please RSVP by August 20th to email@pacny.net. We will meet at the H. Lee White Marine Museum at 1 West 1st Street, Oswego, NY 13126. Bad weather could lead to cancellation of this event; please watch for an announcement the morning of the event here, on our Facebook Page, and our Meetup.com Event.
