I've just found a newspaper in my suitcase from when I was in Nova Scotia in August with a story about the Chester area "Lightfoot Tower" in Mahone Bay.
I did not know about this until the day before we left and couldn't get over to see it. We were down to Mahone Bay a few times as well as in the town of Chester on our vacation..
In one of the art galleries in Chester my cousin was asking about a tower/library and received a map with it's location but nobody mentioned "Lightfoot" during the discussion!!!
Here's the article:

If we get back down east next summer I'll make sure I get over to see it!
I'll try to remember to show the paper to Gordon on Sunday and see what he may know about it..or not..
lol !
