- sitting atop a bluff on Cobourg Street, the Goderich Lighthouse stands as the oldest lighthouse station on the Canadian Shore of Lake Huron. Erected in 1847, the square tower was constructed of evenly-coursed stone and features string courses between the first and second storey and just below the gallery. The land parcel on which the lighthouse sat was sold to Queen Victoria.

Graciously, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II sold the lighthouse and the surrounding land to the Town of Goderich for the sum of one dollar. In 2009, local marine enthusiasts and the Marine Heritage Committee approached the Town of Goderich about restoring the lighthouse’s exterior to its original condition.
