November 19, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Join a park ranger in a rare opportunity to learn about the U.S. Life Saving Service and explore the Life Saving Station at Sandy Hook.
Meet the Park Historian at the Post Museum to look over U.S. Life Saving Service equipment that was used to rescue shipwrecked mariners and passengers from 1878 and 1915. Visitors can park across the street from the Post Museum in the Headquarters (Building 26) parking lot. Then, car caravan three miles south to discover a Life Saving Station built in 1894 opposite Spermaceti Cove. Explore the first and second floors and the watch tower where life savers looked for ships in distress on both the ocean and bay sides of Sandy Hook!
