- In 1997, IPPA began the physical restoration of historic Absecon Lighthouse, New Jersey’s tallest, and the country’s third tallest. Work on the Lighthouse Tower was completed in 1998. The Tower was opened to the public in 1999, and the Keeper’s House museum and gift shop opened to visitors in October 2001. Restoration of the historic two-acre site was completed in 2003, making the Lighthouse and grounds accessible to the visiting public. Since the reopening of the Lighthouse tower in 1999, over 500,000 visitors have learned of its remarkable history. Exhibitions in the Keeper’s House provide access to rare historic photographs and offer an overview of the history of Absecon Lighthouse and its restoration. A TV shows 5 live views from the top.
Take an amazing journey into time and above it all as you ascend the 228 steps of the Absecon Lighthouse, one of the oldest lighthouses in the country. You'll see breathtaking views of the Atlantic City skyline and up top you'll come face-to-face with the original first-order Fresnel Lens, first lit in 1857.
