For all you Civil War buffs, the Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont is celebrating the 150^th anniversary of the start of the Civil War. On the exact date that the first Confederate shots were fired on Fort Sumter, the Center opened “Civil War: Battlefield & Homefront.” This exhibit interprets the war years using the letters of residents who served in the war and those who stayed behind. This absorbing exhibit is open to the public daily Tues-Sat 9am-5pm and Sun 12 noon-5pm through Jan. 9, 2012. That gives ample time for you to visit the Captain’s and take in a part of our history.

Looking For Lighthouses o4/15-10/15/2011

Come to the Captain’s and we’ll map out a one or two day lighthouse excursion that will take you 25 miles to the east and 25 miles to the west of Huron. We will provide you with maps and suggestions for places to stop along the way. Of course, Huron has its very own lighthouse called the Huron Harbor Pierhead Light . . . and it’s just a short walk from the Captain’s. Heading east along the lake shore, there are two others of interest; the Vermilion Lighthouse is a replica of the original and it can be viewed up close; and in Lorain, the Lorain West Breakwater Lighthouse can be viewed from the shore.
To the west of Huron just 7 miles is the newly renovated Cedar Point Lighthouse; it can be viewed up close during the summer. Driving west across Sandusky Bay on the spectacular Edison Bridge, you’ll spot the oldest, continuously lit lighthouse on all the Great Lakes, the Marblehead Lighthouse and its restored lightkeeper’s house. You may walk the grounds and view this famous lighthouse up close. Tours are offered during the summer months, although it is a limited schedule. Just west of Marblehead in Port Clinton is the Old Pt. Clinton Lighthouse. Only the top was able to be saved, but it can be viewed up close. What a nice way to while away a lazy afternoon or two—a trip that will literally light up your life!
The Captain's room rates are regular seasonal pricing for Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Ask about our discount for Mondays through Thursdays.
