The New Jersey Lighthouse Challenge® is a not-for-profit event presented by The New Jersey Lighthouse Society, Inc. for the purpose of raising public awareness of lighthouses in general and New Jersey’s lighthouses, specifically. It is a rain or shine, two-day event held during the third weekend in October when 11 land-based lighthouses are open for visitation and climbing. During this weekend, the public is invited to visit any or all of the sites along the Challenge route.
At each site visited, participants of the Challenge receive a complimentary souvenir depicting that particular
lighthouse. Collect all 13 and you will receive a complimentary “completion” souvenir at your final stop
to commemorate your achievement.
For 2008, there are two new sites to the Challenge route:
- Barnegat Light Historical Museum displaying Barnegat Light’s 1st Order Fresnel Lens
- Cape May County Museum displaying Cape May’s 1st Order Fresnel Lens
More information, including FAQs, directions and a brochure are available at the New Jersey Lighthouse Society website.
