NJ Lighthouse Challenge 2006-Absecon Lighthouse
Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 6 November 2006 in Architecture and Portfolio.
Absecon Lighthouse is located in Atlantic City NJ. At 171 feet, it is NJ’s tallest lighthouse. It was constructed between 1855-1857. It was first lit on January 15, 1857 and remained lit until July 11, 1933. It was re-lit on October 3, 1999.
This was one of the 11 land based lighthouses in NJ that we went to for the NJ lighthouse challenge in October. Normally I write up a short history of the lighthouse, but I just didn’t have the time. An excellent detailed history of the lighthouse can be found here.

*I am slowly moving my archives from my other site here since I am having some trouble with Blogger and broken archives, lack of support, etc. The migration will take some time and if you visit my other blog you will likely see some redundancy.
