Bouctouche, New Brunswick
Pointe à Jérôme Range Front Lighthouse, located in Bouctouche, New Brunswick, is part of a trio of historic landmarks that mark the entrance to Bouctouche Bay. The site holds significance as one of the earliest settlement areas in the region, with Pointe à Jacquot once hosting Bouctouche's first Roman Catholic Church.
Established in 1881, the range lights at Pointe à Jérôme were vital in guiding vessels safely through the entrance of Bouctouche Harbour. The original towers, standing at 23 feet high, featured fixed white catoptric lights visible for miles along the coast.
Although the range lights were eventually decommissioned in 2014, the legacy of Pointe à Jérôme Range Front Lighthouse lives on through its historical significance and the memories of former keepers such as Dosithee O. Maillet and Gerald Maillet, who dedicated themselves to maintaining the safety of mariners for decades.
