The Ashtabula Maritime & Surface Transportation Museum is housed in the original Ashtabula Lighthouse Keeper’s House later the house that the U.S. Coast Guard Chief and his family lived in. This house was originally built for the Lightkeeper's family in 1871. An addition was built for the Assistant Keeper’s family to live in 1898, making the house a duplex. In 1991-1992 a $31,000 addition of approximately 40’ X 50’ was built onto the rear of the original 1871 Light Keeper’s home.
Today we have several outside displays in our front and back yards plus a portion of the leg of the original Ashtabula Hulett Iron Ore unloader in Point Park which is across the street from the museum that overlooks the industrial harbor. In our parking lot sits the First Electrically Welded Steel Hull Ship in the World, which was built in Ashtabula Harbor in 1914.
