Hampton Lighthouse-Historical

66 Hampton Wharf Rd
Bridgetown, NS

The Hampton Lighthouse, a charming white wooden pepper-shaker tower standing 10.1 meters tall, was constructed in 1911 and is notable for its original sixth-order lens and kerosene lamp, which was electrified in the 1940s. Overlooking picturesque Chute Cove, the lighthouse is managed by the Hampton Lighthouse and Historical Society, which aims to preserve its historical significance and ensure the site remains structurally intact.

This site has a rich history marked by various keepers, including Herbert Foster, who served from 1911 until at least 1923. Designated as a Provincial Heritage Property in 2007, the lighthouse represents an important part of Nova Scotia's maritime heritage and is a must-see for visitors exploring the Evangeline Trail.
