About the MargaretsvilleLighthouse
This lighthouse was built in 1859 and stands 9.4 meters high. The lighthouse is a square wooden tower with sloping sides, built in the popular pepper shaker style. The distinct black mark through the middle of the lighthouse is the only of its kind in Nova Scotia. The 150th anniversary occurred October 24th, 2009. This was celebrated by a harvest supper, memorabilia, and a cake cutting ceremony.
