Liverpool's Fort Point Lighthouse

Liverpool's Fort Point Lighthouse is a distinctive timber combination, "hunch backed" in style and is the third-oldest surviving lighthouse in Nova Scotia. Built as a dwelling and tower, it's light marked the town's inner harbour since 1855, until the Coast Guard turned it off in 1989.The lighthouse had a resident keeper until 1964. His duties also included the sounding of a hand-cranked fog horn in answer to signals from vessels during "thick" weather. The lighthouse and attached dwelling have been restored to show life in the era of the last keeper. The invitation is open for visitors to climb the lighthouse for a view of Liverpool Bay, and try your hand at the crank fog horn. The museum is staffed by interpreters in period costume and features Maritime and Privateering history. Browse the gift shop for local crafts, folk art, collectibles and unique souvenirs of the lighthouse.
Liverpool's Fort Point Lighthouse is located at the end of Main Street, at the Mersey River estuary, past Victorian and Colonial Georgian homes shaded in century old trees, all set back to provide a spectacular view. The parking lot is designed to accommodate trailer/motor coach for easy turn around. Although the lighthouse is closed in the off season the park remains open year around for all to enjoy.
Lighthouse open season and hours:
Season: Mid-May - Mid-October
Hours: 10 am - 6 pm daily, except July and August 9am - 8pm daily

LIVERPOOL ... live history, feel history

30 Year Resident

Starting in January of this year it is estimated that 10,000 Americans a day will become eligible for retirement over the next 19 years. These numbers are smaller in Canada but proportionally the same will be true (with an estimate of 1000 Canadians per day looking  to retire).  Retiring urbanites commonly look to escape the high cost of city living and seeking a lower cost and more relaxed pace.

Liverpool offers a very good hospital, curling rink, fitness centre (20 million cost to build with indoor walking track), golf and proximity to three ocean beaches. It is  the canoe capital of Nova Scotia with many lakes and rivers, remote camping, good fishing and fresh water swimming.  It has an excellent and active  theatre that brings in much  entertainment, good restaurants and a new Best Western Hotel. Liverpool is 1 hour from Kejimkujik National Park, 45 minutes from Keji (Kejimkujik) Adjunct ocean wilderness, 45 minutes from Thomas Raddall Provincial Park, and 1.5 hours from Halifax.  Liverpool also offers better than average Canadian weather.

I have lived in a number of other places before coming to Liverpool where I have been for 30 years now and have raised my family here. Liverpool has a lot to offer and in fact has everything we want. There is plenty of room here for good folks who like the things I have mentioned.

Some developers are seeing the potential mentioned and are already building a few condos. Others are in the beginning stages of  some nice single story housing (900-1200 sq ft) with attached garage and deck. All of this comes with electricity and heat for $1,200 a month and is situated in a convenient, quiet, wooded location by a well treed nature walking trail.

Tell me, where in Canada you can do better than that?

Inexpensive Historical Maritime Living

Liverpool's harbour was originally named Port Rossignol by Samuel de Champlain, the early 17th century founder of New France in North America, after a Captain Rossignol who was at that time using the harbour for fur trading. Following the Expulsion of the Acadians during the French and Indian War (1754–1763), Liverpool was founded by New England Planters (commercially organized settlers) as a fishing port in 1759. named after Liverpool in England  —which also lies along its own Mersey River.  The town was strengthened after the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) by additional arrivals from the American colonial Loyalist refugees. During the nineteenth century, the town became a major seaport as the fishing and ship building industries grew. The town also became a leading exporter of timber which was floated down the Mersey River (or as initially called the Rivière Rossignol by the original Acadians) from the inland forests of the Lake Rossignol watershed.

Liverpool's fortunes were temporarily revived in the 1920s when it became a centre for rum runners shipping alcohol to the United States during its period of prohibition.

And along with that came the wide selection of Victorian homes and shops. the flavour of the maritimes.  Maritime history is rich here in Liverpool and one cannot help but be taken back in time as one walks along Main Street, Market Street and Church Street.
