Peggy's Cove Lighthouse Postal Station (Summer Only) - B3Z 3S2 (Legacy) - Canada Post Offices on Waymarking.com

During the summer months, the lighthouse served as the village post office. Visitors could send postcards and letters, and a special lighthouse shaped cancellation mark was used. The post office was at the bottom of the lighthouse.

However, the lighthouse was damaged following a storm. Water damage occurred and mold set in. Canada Post deemed the Post Office unfit for workers and moved the operation to the nearby Sou'wester restaurant/gift shop while a solution was sought with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, who own the lighthouse. With no solution in the offing, Canada Post closed the postal outlet altogether.

Post Office Type: Other Province/Territory: Nova Scotia Historical Significance: Yes - Older than 50 years Location has a philatelic display: no Friendly and helpful service: yes What brought you here?: Naturally, I was brought here by the history of the lighthouse. I learned of the post office once I arrived.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing Canada Post waymark, you will need to post a unique picture of the Canada Post sign. Including your gps device in the picture is not neccesary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
