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. NJLHS sponsors the annual
New Jersey Lighthouse Challenge®, a two-day autumn
event
during which all 11 accessible New Jersey lighthouses are open to the
public. 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 |
IT WAS SOMETHING
SPECIAL! Neither rain, nor sleet or gloom of a nor'easter stayed our participants from taking the Challenge! Thanks for coming out to take part in this year's Challenge in what was the worst weather ever encountered in 10 years. We owe its success to you! Click here to see Challenge statistics. "Challenge" pictures are in. Check them out. |

Question of the month
Jack Graham, lighthouse researcher, is trying to determine how widespread the use of metal(iron) oil houses were in the old lighthouse districts. See the photo below of two oil houses at Au Sable lighthouse on Lake Superior. Thus far he has only found references to these at Great Lakes lighthouses. Have any of these been used on the Atlantic Coast? Please reply to: jatogr@embarqmail.com  |
