Point Clark Lighthouse was built between 1855 and 1859 to warn sailors of the shoal about 3 KM offshore. Its elegant proportions and limestone exterior are typical of the six "Imperial" towers built in the region, a lighthouse style rarely seen elsewhere in Canada.
Acquired by Parks Canada in 1967 to commemorate the vital role of lighthouses in navigation on the Great Lakes, it still serves its primary function - an aid to navigation. The lightkeeper's dwelling, built at the same time as the lighthouse, is now operated as a museum by the Township of Huron-Kinloss.
Admission and tours are available for a nominal fee.
