When you are out of town and need a Marblehead Lighthouse Historical Society fix!

During a winter storm, Seth, one of our volunteers, asked if we ever considered a we**am. We thought it was a great idea and about a month later the camera was installed. It’s great to watch on the pretty days, but it is fascinating to watch during a storm.
You can find it on our website https://www.marbleheadlighthouseohio.org/

Ummm.....yes please. 😋😍

YUM! As a nod to the beloved candy counter in what you used to be The Shade Tree, The Heritage Society has restocked the old counters with luscious chocolates. When it is gone, it is gone! Stop by the Heritage Archives to purchase your summer treats.

We have Malley's chocolate bars and hand-dipped items such as Oreos, Rice Krispie bars, and pretzels. There are also upscale chocolate barks swirled with mint, raspberry, or bacon. Finally, don't miss a beautiful bowl of Sweet's taffy from which you can choose four pieces for a $1.

All make great hostess or birthday gifts. And, they bring smiles to grandchildren's faces. (:

All proceeds support our mission to preserve and promote the history of Lakeside Chautauqua, the Marblehead Peninsula, and the Chautauqua Movement in America.
