The 2026 Lighthouse Challenge will take place on Saturday and Sunday, October 17th and 18th.

We'll be celebrating the 250th birthday of our country and honoring Sandy Hook Lighthouse, which was the only New Jersey lighthouse standing during the Revolution.

The souvenir this year will be a book full of stories of the Revolution that took place at the site of or near present day lighthouses, lifesaving stations or museum. You'll pick up a sticker at each stop to complete the page.
