“We are very excited and honored,” Spivkosky told Fox 8 News. “We’re all so proud here in Lorain that our historic lighthouse nicknamed “The Jewel of the Port” was chosen,” he said.
Spivosky said there are many beautiful lighthouses along Lake Erie in Ohio, New York, and Canada. “That’s a lot of competition,’ he said.
The Lorain Lighthouse was built in 1917. Each summer there are sunset dinners, tours, and special events.
