The Kearney Tourist Chalet was built in 1995 and is designed as a replica of the Beacon Light, which was erected at Point of Beach in 1850. The Beacon Light was built by Michael Condon Kearney, after whom the tourist chalet has been named.

The Chalet operates from June to September of each year, providing visitors with information on our town and it's history. Souvenirs, postcards, and maps are also available for purchase there. In 1998, a Kyle Room was added to the chalet. This room contains artifacts and information about the S.S. Kyle.
