NJLHS Mission
The New
Jersey Lighthouse Society (NJLHS) was formed in 1989
as a state chapter of the United States Lighthouse
Society. In 1994, the chapter became The New Jersey
Lighthouse Society, Inc., one of the largest regional
lighthouse societies in the United States. The society
once counted among its membership more than 1000
people throughout the United States and the world. The Society
is dedicated to fostering an appreciation of the
history about and to support the preservation of
lighthouses everywhere. The main focus of the NJLHS in
these efforts is on the New Jersey, Delaware Bay and
New York Harbor regions. Every year, the organization
raises funds to help benefit the lighthouses in these
areas. Society membership is very active in helping to
preserve the lighthouses
of the Garden State. Please
explore this website and learn more about NJLHS.
Thanks for visiting. |
