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. |
