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, one of the largest regional lighthouse societies in the United States. The society counts 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 |
