Such a beautiful place to visit. Great to just see the 2 museums, or lighthouse but even better to have a picnic. We stopped down the road for some chili dogs, sat at one of the many picnic tables to have ouch, before wandering around taking pictures.
There were lots of people but certainly wasn't over crowded. Close parking, may be an issue since it fills up fast, but there are multiple lots. Certainly worth checking out.
The buildings are accessible, the main home has a lift. Without the lift, there are a few stairs getting up the porch. Leaving is better, they're spread out. Even though stairs are difficult, I did just fine.
While the buildings are free, to go up the lighthouse has a fee. I believe it was a $3 donation per person. If you're afraid of heights, don't attempt it. They're spiral metal stairs, and you can see down. Typical fir other lighthouses built in that time period around the great lakes. We did ask if we could just go in, the girl from the Ohio DNR said sure, took us in to snap pics, even explained some of the things in there. She was great! It was really warm in there, stay hydrated.
One great thing about this location, you can see Cedar Point, and Kelly Island as well. Simply stunning.
