Welcome to the historic Cabot Head Lightstation established in 1896 to guide ships rounding Cabot Head on the often turbulent waters of Georgian Bay. Today the Cabot Head Lightstation is operated and maintained by the "Friends of Cabot Head" as a historical local landmark, including museum, interpretive plaques, trails, picnic area and a gift shop.

The Friends of Cabot Head, a not-for-profit volunteer organization obtains all its funds for restoration, maintenance and management from visitor donations, membership dues, the Assistant Lighthouse Keepers Program and sales through the gift shop.
