Oak Orchard Light stood on the Lake Ontario shore at Point Breeze, New York, and operated from 1871 to 1916 as a lighthouse marking the entrance to a small but active harbor at Oak Orchard Creek. The original structure stood at the end of a long wooden pier on the creek’s west side and helped guide vessels along this part of the Great Lakes coast. Although the original light does not survive, the site’s history remains evident through a historically accurate replica built in 2010 by a local community group near the original location on the creek’s east side.
