Since 2000, the original Fresnel lens used at the lighthouse is located at the Yarmouth County Museum.

The surrounding 19 acres (7.7 ha) of rocky headland contain the Leif Erikson Park, which offers a scenic walking trail with ocean views.

In exchange for the delivery of services it was transferred to the Municipality of the District of Yarmouth for one dollar.

It became a registered Heritage property of the Municipality in 2001 and of the Province of Nova Scotia in 2003.

The stamp shows the old lighthouse as it appears on a 1950 poster designed by Peter Ewart, promoting “Canada’s Picturesque East Coast” for Canadian Pacific.
