PORT CLINTON — A restored 1896 lighthouse will soon return to the Port Clinton waterfront as a beacon for visitors and history lovers.
The roughly 26 foot-tall wooden lighthouse stood on the Portage River’s west pier until 1952, when it was removed and taken to a local marina.
For the last couple years, a volunteer crew worked to replace rotten boards, install a new copper roof, and repaint the winding, interior gray steps, green accents, and white tower.
