This lighthouse, is located on Lake Huron 35 kilometers north of Goderich, was built between 1855
and 1859. It commemorates the vital role of lighthouses in navigation on the Great Lakes.
The 87-foot limestone tower topped by a 12-sided lantern framed in cast iron is typical of
the six “Imperial” towers built in the region, a lighthouse style rarely seen
elsewhere in Canada. The Township of Huron has an agreement with Parks Canada to operate the
lightkeeper's house as a local museum.
