Standing guard on the shores of Lake Huron, the
Point Clark Lighthouse, built between 1855 and 1859, is part of an
important system of “Imperial” lighthouses on Lake Huron and Georgian
Bay. Visit the still-functioning 24 m/78 ft limestone tower to see the
12-sided lantern that shines a bright light on the historical
significance of lighthouses to Great Lakes navigation. Nearby, the
lightkeeper’s house museum illuminates the lives led on lonely
shores.
Construit entre 1855 et 1859 sur l’une des rives du
lac Huron, le phare de la Pointe-Clark fait partie de l’important réseau
de phares bâtis à l’époque victorienne autour du lac Huron et de la baie
Georgienne. Visitez ce phare en pierre calcaire haut de 24 m pour voir
la lanterne à 12 facettes qui témoigne de l’importance historique des
phares pour la navigation sur les Grands Lacs. Tout près, entrez dans la
maison du gardien transformée en musée pour découvrir à quoi ressemblait
la vie sur ces rivages solitaires.
