Discover Cape Breton’s French-colonial heritage at the landmark Louisbourg Lighthouse and at the Fortress of Louisbourg, a living-history museum. The route from Sydney to the east coast takes you across the wide, calm Mira River. At the 1923 Louisbourg Lighthouse, admire the views and see the remains of the original 1734 stone tower. On the other side of the harbor is the reconstruction of the fortified 18th-century town. After a site orientation with your tour guide, you are free to stroll the grounds, visit the buildings, and chat with soldiers, fishermen, and townspeople, whose period dress and activities illustrate life here in the 1740s.
