Restoration
of Lighthouse Keeper’s Quarters
 Planning
for the rehabilitation of the Sandy Hook Lighthouse Keeper’s Quarters,
a National Historic Landmark located within Fort Hancock, began in 2002.
The building, located adjacent to the Sandy Hook Lighthouse, is
now fully restored and open to the public.
Constructed in 1883, the rehabilitation reflects the
building’s appearance in the mid-to-late 1930’s.
The
first floor is used as public orientation space for
lighthouse tours and special educational and historical
 exhibits,
with one room set aside as a gift shop for the NJ Lighthouse Society.
The second floor include offices and a meeting room for the
NJ Lighthouse Society and The Sandy Hook Foundation, and the third floor
has boarding rooms for Lighthouse Society volunteers.
The
house is open from 1-5 daily.
Groups need reservations in advance for a Lighthouse
tour. Contact the park Visitor Center at 732-872-5970.
