The New Jersey Lighthouses and select museums are eager to
announce they will again be hosting a “Lighthouse Challenge of New Jersey”
weekend on October 20th & 21st,
2012.Visitors will enjoy the opportunity to tour the state and visit each
lighthouse over the weekend, and help raise needed funds for continued
lighthouse preservation.
These majestic beacons have played an important role in New Jersey's history, guarding mariners and protecting our coasts for over a century. Lighthouses serve as a reminder of
American ingenuity while honoring the values of safety and heroism. Visit the
lighthouses and museums on the Challenge for an opportunity to step back in time
and learn more about our state and country's history.
Hours of operation for each lighthouse can be found on lighthouse and museum websites
