Dunkirk Attractions

Dunkirk was previously known as Chadwick's Bay, founded 1805, but was renamed in 1817 because its harbor resembled Dunkerque, France. The harbor offers many recreational opportunities such as fishing, boating, swimming and water skiing.

Dunkirk Historical Lighthouse and Veteran's Park Museum

The Dunkirk Historical Lighthouse site features a working lighthouse, built in 1875, and three buildings filled with military and maritime artifacts. The Keeper's House is a brick Victorian residence that houses many of the museum exhibits.
