Visiting Tionesta’s Unusual Sherman Memorial Lighthouse – UncoveringPA

Over the past few years, I’ve done a lot of traveling throughout every corner of Pennsylvania, and, without a doubt, one of the strangest things I’ve seen is the Sherman Memorial Lighthouse in Tionesta.

Located on a peninsula at the confluence of the Allegheny River and Tionesta Creek, the lighthouse is certainly an odd site. Since it’s located near water, it takes a second to realize that it provides no assistance to navigating ships. In fact, Tionesta’s lighthouse sits roughly 60 miles from the nearest navigable body of water, Lake Erie, which is home to its own lighthouses.
