Fort Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse located on the Mersey River outside the town of Liverpool in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. Constructed in 1855, the lighthouse sits amongst the remnants of a colonial battery. The site of the lighthouse played an integral role in the historical defense o
f Liverpool. During the eighteenth century Fort Point had a signal station and during the American Revolutionary War a palisade was erected and fitted with cannons to defend the harbour from privateers. The lighthouse is the modern-day 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.
