Presqu’ile Provincial Park,
home of the Presqu’ile Lighthouse, an historic landmark for Brighton and Northumberland County, is ready to celebrate History
Weekend: Aug 2-4th/2013
Before becoming a Park in 1922,
the Presqu’ile peninsula was used by many different groups of people – soldiers
during the War of 1812, rumrunners during prohibition, pioneers, ship builders,
pirates and cottagers.
It was even
destined to become an important city in Upper Canada
before the sinking of the schooner “Speedy”.
Now you can relive Presqu’ile’s storied past by participating in the
many fun events offered throughout History Weekend.
