Gibraltar Point Lighthouse

Toronto, ON M5J 2W2

Hexagonal stone tower from eighteen oh nine, the oldest lighthouse standing on the Great Lakes and site of an unsolved nineteenth-century murder.

Gibraltar Point Lighthouse carries you back to January 1815, when a York Gazette notice announced the mysterious death of keeper John Paul Radelmuller, a Bavarian who had once served British dukes. The guide follows the rumors around his disappearance, his side business brewing and selling his own beer, and the two young soldiers from the Fort York garrison who stood trial for his murder. Both were acquitted, and the case divided the town for decades.
