Not content with its status as the second oldest lighthouse on Lake Erie, the Pelee Island Lighthouse has another claim to fame: It’s the southernmost lighthouse in the entire country!Pelee Island is the largest island in Lake Erie, and due to its moderate climate (only tiny, uninhabited Middle Island lies further south in Canada than Pelee Island), it has been used for agriculture many years. Vineyards were planted on the Pelee Island in the 1860s, and winemaking is today once again an important part of the island’s economy.
