The Fort Hancock Oral History Program consists of over 100 interviews with people who either lived or worked at Sandy Hook. These interviews were conducted by park staff and Monmouth University student interns over several years.
Most of the people of Sandy Hook worked for the U.S. Army, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Lighthouse Service, and U.S. Life-Saving Service. These people also had families who lived, shopped and attended school within the peninsula.
