The plaque says, "This iconic symbol of Brigantine, NJ is not an actual working lighthouse but rather a monument or tourist attraction used to help in the sale of real estate on the island. The Lighthouse, which was built in 1926 by The Island Development Company, has served as a museum, gift shop, police station and the city jail over the years. By the mid 1990s, the lighthouse had fallen into disrepair and was refurbished by a group of dedicated volunteers in 1995. This marker was dedicated in March 0f 2017. #1."

Visit Instructions:
To log a visit, you must post a photo of you in front of the building described, with your GPS in the photo. No drive by photos.
I have had NO problems with taking photos of Police stations but please respect the fact that some services may be nervous about having their photo taken and inquire as to why... I have found that once things are explained they are more than happy to let me photograph the building, crest, chief... (they are people too!)
