The lighthouse at Verona Beach in New York was one of three built on Oneida Lake to aid navigation in conjunction with the opening of the Barge Canal as part of the Erie Canal system in 1918. The Verona Beach Lighthouse Association was formed in 2002 to save the lighthouse. Terri Knight is a founder and longtime volunteer and Bruce Woodward has served as the group’s treasurer.
