The Keeper's House (Marblehead, Ohio)

Join me on this absolutely beautiful day as I make the trip to the historic 1822 Keeper's House in Marblehead. There is much more information about this amazing site at the house's official website which you can access below. I have also included some brief info from the website in this description: http://www.thekeepershouse.org Welcome to the oldest surviving home in Ottawa County, Ohio, the "Keeper's House." Located on the Danbury Peninsula near the Village of Marblehead, it was the home of the first three lighthouse keepers for the oldest lighthouse in continuous operation on the Great Lakes. This house was built of limestone from an early quarry a short distance from the back of the house. The house is an excellent example of early domestic architecture in the Firelands. Benajah Wolcott was keeper of the lighthouse until his death due to cholera in 1832 at the age of seventy. At this time the Treasury Department appointed the most obvious and capable replacement it could. Benajah's wife, Rachel, became the first female lighthouse keeper on the Great Lakes on October 25, 1832.
