On Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 11 and 12, Absecon Lighthouse, New Jersey’s tallest and the country’s third tallest masonry light, is celebrating the 168th anniversary of the lighting of its historic first-order Fresnel Lens, first lit on Jan. 15, 1857.
To celebrate, kids 12 and under are invited to climb free with adults, who will be treated to a “two for the price of one” climbing fee for the weekend.
In honor of Atlantic City’s beloved oldest structure, donations, which will be accepted to keep this iconic light shining, can be mailed to:
31 S. Rhode Island Ave. Atlantic City, NJ, 08401.
Upon receipt, donors will receive a personal “Thank You” from Abby commemorating the donation, as the kindness will be so appreciated!
