The Twin Lights Historical Society is the recipient of The New Jersey Historical Commission, Department of State, 2009 Award of Recognition.
The society was recognized Nov. 21 for its outstanding contribution to the Twin Lights Historic Site. The award was presented at the commission’s conference titled “New Jersey and the Bill of Rights” commemorating the 220th anniversary of New Jersey’s ratification of the Bill of Rights, the first state to do so.
The historical society was nominated for its role in preserving and restoring the Twin Lights of the Navesink Highlands, formerly known as the Navesink Light Attendants’ Station. The society was formed more than 50 years ago to assist the Twin Lights Commission with establishing the historical site as a public park and museum dedicated to maritime history.
The Twin Lights Historical Society serves 100,000 visitors each year and maintains year-round visiting hours with free admission.
