Port Burwell is situated in Treaty 3 (Between the Lakes Purchase) territory, a treaty signed in 1792. This is the traditional territories of the Anishinabewaki, the Atriwonderonk (Neutral), the Haudenosaunee and the Mississauga; civilizations knowledgeable of architecture, preservation of culture, and the perpetuation and sustainment of Turtle Island. The Port Burwell Historical Society is committed to reconciliation. We will honour the land through acts of conservation and preservation that reflect and respect this heritage. We will forge new relationships and partnerships with our First Nations neighbours and strive to share and protect this land for future generations. The Port Burwell Historical Society started as a small group of friends, working hand in hand with the Village of Port Burwell, to preserve the history of Port Burwell and our connection to Lake Erie and the Great Lakes. Our goal was to raise funds, through various volunteer activities, for the operation and maintenance of The Port Burwell Marine Museum and The Historic 1840 Lighthouse . After the amalgamation of the Village of Port Burwell into the Municipality of Bayham on January 1st, 1998, our focus shifted to the acquisition of artifacts for the Museum . - .��� - ✓`� .

TheHistory 40 _ t J T Port Burwell's Historic Lighthouse was erected by the Canadian Colonial Government in 1840, making it the oldest lighthouse on the north shore of Lake Erie. The frame structure rises more than 65 � feet above the ground. i R The lighthouse is of a simple, but classic design. Large pine timbers from the local Big Otter Valley � � � ►' formed the original framework to carry the exterior lapstrake siding. An interior staircase wound its ' way to the top of the lighthouse where aglassed- in cupola housed the light mechanism and lenses, which were imported from France. An exterior balcony made it possible to clean the outside of _ the windows. t� �. The quality of this construction is reflected by the fact that the building r stood for over one hundred and forty years without any major reconstruction. 1 . The lighthouse was kept by the Sutherland family for over a century, � establishing a record of service that earned the family recognition by two - monarchs and a place in the history of navigation on the Great Lakes. _- - The v was run lighthouse b the Canadian g Government until it was taken out of active service. Fearing that the lighthouse might be demolished, it was acquired by the Village of Port Burwell in April of 1965. A partial restoration was done in 1977 through a Local Initiatives Program grant. More painting and refurbishing took place in 1983 and soon after, public tours of the building were allowed. However, it soon became apparent that the - structure needed more than a coat of paint. A close examination of the lighthouse produced evidence that the foundation and lower main beams needed to be replaced. In July of 1986 a major restoration program commenced. Leroy Eicher led a team of local Mennonite craftsmen to begin the reconstruction program. Leroy and his sons began work using the same hand tools with which the tower was originally built. The adze with which the team shaped the beams was the same tool used by the skilled carpenters who built the schooners at Port Burwell over a century before. Mortice and tenet joints were used to join the timbers forming the } framework of the old lighthouse. When the work was started, it was discovered that the decay was more serious than had been estimated. Virtually all of the long beams had to be replaced with Douglas Fir and the exterior siding had to be replaced. � Excerpt from Memories: A History of Port Burwell by Frank & Nancy Prothero, O Nan-Sea Publications. Used l with permission �ElArchives On January 1, 1998 the Village of Port Burwell was amalgamated with the Township of Bayham and the Village of Vienna to form the Municipality of Bayham and the ownership of the lighthouse was transferred to the Municipality. In 2022, the Municipality noticed some P Y issues with the lighthouse and took initial steps to begin a restoration plan. '� In early 2023, initial examination of the structure began to document the areas that needed to be addressed and to formulate a plan of action for the restoration of the - r lighthouse. However, it was soon discovered that the foundation and the support beams were unsound and ::r . the structure was declared unsafe. Concerns about Y - windshear on the building were addressed through the implementation of a "temporary" collar and guy wire solution. r In August 2023, the consulting firm of a+Link delivered a r preliminary report estimating the work and materials required to reconstruct and restore the lighthouse would _ be in the neighbourhood of $1.5 Million. As of this date, the Municipality has determined they will not have in house funding available to begin this desperately needed work and will have to rely solely on L grants from various levels of government. T Y Spring of 2024 Meeting of the Port Burwell Historical Society at the Wheelhouse discussion if there was interest in pursuing idea of acquiring the Lighthouse - subcommittee struck The letter looks good. would suggest we do not present it to council before Thursday's Council Meeting until we have seen their discussion on the Lighthouse.

Recently the Port Burwell Historical Society has established a subcommittee tasked with exploring opportunities to acquire the Port Burwell Lighthouse.
