Postcard-pretty day at Wood Island, Prince Edward Island

HISTORY OF THE WOOD ISLANDS LIGHTHOUSE

It is the second oldest lighthouse, with an attached dwelling and tower of this style, on Prince Edward Island.

Today this Lighthouse is an Interpretive Museum with 10-plus themed rooms featuring historical displays from the Rum-Running era to the Burning/Phantom Ship. A must for Lighthouse Lovers!
