Gibraltar Point Lighthouse

Completed in 1808, Gibraltar Point is the oldest landmark in Toronto and was essential to providing boats safe passage as the city grew. Although it was decommissioned in the early 1900s, it remains the oldest existing lighthouse on the Great Lakes and one of the oldest still standing in Canada. 

In addition to its importance as a part of Toronto’s history, the mysterious murder of its first lightkeeper in 1815 added mystery to the structure, as local legend says that it remains haunted by the man’s ghost even today.
