Add to My List Check Off

Facing Liverpool harbour is the Fort Point Lighthouse, the third oldest lighthouse in Nova Scotia which contains a lighthouse museum and is surrounded by a public park. Named after the fortified gun battery that protected the town from the 1760s to the 1860s, the point saw several actions in the American Revolution. It was also a signal station and an important public gathering place for the town, becoming park in the late1800s. The first lighthouse was established here in 1855. This lighthouse is a timber combination dwelling and tower in an unusual "hunchbacked" shape. Liverpool is a Canadian community located along the Atlantic Ocean of the Province of Nova Scotia's South Shore. Liverpool is located along Trunk Route 3 ("The Lighthouse Route") and at the junction of major Highway 103 (at Exit 19) and Trunk Route 8 ("The Kejimkujik Scenic Drive") which leads to the Bay of Fundy.
