Description
The square wooden Walton Harbor Lighthouse is a pepper shaker type tower. Built in 1872 by Timothy Parker at a cost of $620 and situated on a cliff at the mouth of the Walton River, the lighthouse guided ships into the Walton Dock on Pier Road, where ships were frequently loaded with gypsum and barite between tides. After its closure in 1986, the lighthouse was saved by Ted Burgess and local historian Reg Clark. In 1991, the Municipality of East Hants acquired the lighthouse, and the location received heritage status in August 1992. The restored lighthouse and grounds have been developed into an interpretation center with a nicely landscaped picnic area as well as a short nature trail.
