West Point Lighthouse

FROM WIKIPEDIA:

 

West Point is a cape and an unincorporated community located in the southwestern corner of Prince Edward Island, Canada.

 

West Point Lighthouse, a square tapered tower, was built in 1875 by the federal Department of Marine. The West Point Lighthouse Inn, Museum and Restaurant was established in 1984.

 

The West Point Development Corporation, a non-profit organization, maintains the lighthouse as a navigational aid beacon, although the living quarters of the lighthouse are now used as a unique country inn and museum.

 

This lighthouse was first lit on May 21, 1876.
