The First Natural Gas Lighthouse. Finished in 1829, the 40-foot tall Barcelona Lighthouse (Portland Harbor) was the very first natural gas lighthouse in the country. It was in Federal Lighthouse Service until 1859. At that time it became privately held through various owners until 2008, when New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation acquired it. Though it no longer has the original lens, nor is used for navigational purposes, it is still lit and visible today through an agreement with the Town of Westfield. The lighthouse is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historical Places. For all business with the Barcelona Harbor and beaches, please contact the Barcelona Harbormaster at 716-326-6633The Barcelona Lighthouse participates in the US Lighthouse Society's Passport Club. While visiting during summer open hours, you can have your passport stamped on site. To obtain a stamp in the off-season, please send a long self-addressed, stamped envelope and the paper/card you want the stamp placed on to the address above. The opportunity to make a donation to the Natural Heritage Trust for the Barcelona Lighthouse is available both on-site and through the mail.

Sip, Swirl and Savor the Flavor of the Region Tour the Lake Erie Grape Belt's more than 30,000 vineyard acres along a 50-mile Lake Erie wine trail, including 23 wineries known collectively as Lake Erie Wine Country in Chautauqua County and neighboring Pennsylvania. Growers in Chautauqua County produce approximately 65% of New York State's total annual grape harvest, which is then used in products sold in more than 35 countries around the globe. Concord grapes (best known for the production of jelly, jams, juices, and, yes - wines) have made their mark on the region for generations. In fact, Chautauqua County is the largest U.S. grape-cultivating region east of the Rockies and the largest global Concord growing region. Niagara grapes, another of the Labrusca variety, are also plentiful in the Lake Erie Grape Belt. Did you know that Welch's has deep roots in Chautauqua County? Welch's original plant in Westfield dates back to 1897, and there's still a juice storage and processing facility in the town today. Learn more at the Grape Discovery Center in Westfield, NY. While Labrusca grapes like Concord and Niagara make up much of the harvest, French-American and European varietals perfect for fine wines thrive here and make the Lake Erie wine trail worth a visit for a wine connoisseur or traveler interested in great tastes, lasting memories, and unbelievable views. The local wine selection spans the taste palette from dry to sweet, including award-winning dessert and ice wine, pinot noir and grigio, Riesling, port, and more. Year-round events like vineyard walks, farm-to-table pairing dinners, wine clubs, wine and cheese, wine and chocolate, and harvest celebration weekends offer multiple reasons to return. *Parties of 6 or more are asked to kindly make reservations with each winery they wish to visit in advance of their tour.

Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, first played in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook where the geocacher enters the date they found it and signs it with their established code name. Larger containers such as plastic storage containers (Tupperware or similar) or ammunition boxes can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little value.
