The Barnegat Light Museum is located in Barnegat Light at Central Avenue and Fifth Street. You can easily miss the museum as most people take Broadway to the Barnegat Lighthouse. The museum is well worth a visit, especially for the original first order fresnel lens from the lighthouse.
The museum also has photographs and some memorabilia from the two large Barnegat Light Hotels, The Oceanic and The Sunset. There is a quiet garden behind the museum.

Is there any idea when “Old Barney ” will be opened to visitors? And does Old Barney have a stamp from the Lighthouse Society and if so where is the stamp available???? Thank You
