Tours Of Oswego’s Famous Lighthouse Resume June 23
The H. Lee White Maritime Museum will offer tours of the city’s iconic National Register Oswego West Pierhead Lighthouse beginning Friday, June 23.
How many ghost stories are there connected to Fort Ontario? “More than the number of bars in Oswego,” quipped one of the organizers of this year’s ghost tours at the historic landmark. Some legendary figures, such as Lt. Basil Dunbar, killed in a duel in 1759, or Private George Fykes, who died in a 1782 fever epidemic, are rumored to appear as ghostly figures walking the ramparts of Fort Ontario and scaring army sentries and intruders.
