About Us

The Barnegat Light Historical Society Museum proudly displays the original Fresnal lens that once graced the top of the Barnegat Lighthouse. It also has many photographs of Barnegat City (Barnegat Light) during the first half of the twentieth century.

The Museum building was originally the schoolhouse in which early town children received their elementary education from its construction in 1903 through the last class on June 15, 1951.

The building was opened as a museum for the town of Barnegat Light in 1954. Members of the Barnegat Light Historical Society maintain the exhibits and staff the museum, while the Garden Club of Long Beach Island lovingly cares for the Edith Duff Gwinn Garden.
