The Pointe-Mitis Lighthouse is now managed both to provide access to the general public to its magnificent historical and natural ambiance and to serve as base for educational, cultural and scientific endeavors.

Then

The first lighthouse was built in 1874 and then replaced in 1909 by the present structure.  The Foghorn Building was built 10 years later. Automated in 1972, the lighthouse ceased serving as an aide to navigation in 1999.
