NJLHS has a strong outreach program both to education and to the community.  We want to educate New Jersey to the secret hidden
 in New Jersey.

 

Below is a display of our presentations using miniature lighthouses.
   Please enjoy.

NATIONAL LIGHTHOUSE DAY CERTIFICATES

 

August 7th is National Lighthouse Day to commemorate the Signing by President George Washington the creation of the Lighthouse Service as
 one of the first laws passes by the First Congress in 1789.  NJLHS gives certificates to young students who visit one of our lighthouses on that day
 or a close weekend.
