Sarah Sinfield was Civil War Nurse who lived in Dunkirk, New York, along the shores of Lake Erie. Her husband William was a veteran of the Civil War and an assistant keeper at the Dunkirk Lighthouse from 1874 to 1885. According to the historical marker, she was awarded Pension for her devoted service.
The historical marker and house sits on the Dunkirk Lighthouse property. You can see the house in our included photograph. It has now been turned into the Walter C. Ryan Maritime Building.
During our visit the Maritime Building was closed, so we didn't get to in there. However, we did get to tour the lighthouse grounds, the outside exhibits and take a tour of the Dunkirk Lighthouse. You can check out my previous post on all of that.
Since we document historical markers on the travel blog, I wanted to include the Sara Sinfield Civil War Nurse historical marker and home in our documentation. You can visit the Dunkirk Lighthouse website to learn more.
