Description
This tour commemorates the first recorded raid on the Sandy Hook Lighthouse during the American Revolution. The Patriot Provincial Congress in New York ordered Major William Malcom to dismantle the Lighthouse’s lighting system to make it useless to British warships entering Lower New York Harbor. Join the Sandy Hook park historian to learn more about this and other raids, followed by a climb to the top of the 261-year-old lighthouse. Participants must be 48 inches tall to climb.
