HIGHLANDS - For six decades, the Twin Lights Historical Society thrived where other organizations sometimes struggled, drawing a steady stream of visitors with the spectacular panoramic vista from its two towers, as well as a superb small museum and eclectic museum store. When the Covid-19 pandemic began in 2020 and the state ordered the lighthouse to shut its doors, the Society found itself adrift, with no obvious way to remain relevant and engage new visitors.
During the first few months of the pandemic, trustee Mark Stewart dug into the Society’s immense collection of nautical, lifesaving and New Jersey cultural artifacts and began posting several images each week on Facebook. The Society’s curator, Joanne Sutton, and her volunteer corps had photographed and catalogued every item, so there was plenty to choose from. It was purely experimental, he admits.

In some cases, registration is required in advance, and can be completed online at the library website’s Upcoming Events list.

We’ve seen a resurgence of victory gardens, and last spring retail nurseries, across the state, sold out of vegetable transplants and vegetable seeds.
Bedtime stories and bread baking weren’t the only things making a comeback during the COVID-19 pandemic. Victory gardens or home vegetable garden areas did as well.
