Fort Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse located on the Mersey River outside the town of Liverpool in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. First erected in 1832, it served as a navigational aid for local sailors and fishermen until 1954, when it was taken out of operation.[3]
The lighthouse is the site of the Fort Point Lighthouse Interpretive Centre & Park which is operated by the Queens County Museum on behalf of the Region of Queens Municipality.[4]
