Point Clark Lighthouse

This lighthouse is located on Lake Huron 35 kilometers north of Goderich and 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 lightkeeper's house is currently operated as a local museum.
Although acquired by Parks Canada in 1967 to commemorate the vital role of lighthouses in navigation on the Great Lakes, to this day it still serves its primary function - an aid to navigation.
