This is a target rich environment. All totaled, there are 15 waymarks (soon to be 16 with this one) located at the lighthouse, eight of them mine! The lighthouse, reputed to be haunted, is a fun place to visit. My close friends at Wikipedia told me Absecon Lighthouse has a history museum located in the replicated 1925 Keeper’s House. Exhibits include ocean life, shipwrecks, keepers and lighthouse history, local memorabilia and restoration photos. The Oil House has a Fresnel Lens exhibit. Visitors can climb the 228 steps to the top of the lighthouse. Educational programs are offered for groups and children. And so, without further ado, here is a list of my seven waymarks, in descending category order.
