🌟The Absecon Lighthouse first order Fresnel lens gets a shine up for this weekend's NJ Lighthouse Challenge! 😍 Many thanks to all our AMAZING volunteers & staff who help keep our beacon in tip top shape. 👏

🤔 Did you know?
A Fresnel lens is made up of hundreds of pieces of specially cut glass, which intensifies the glow from the bulb, focusing rays of light that would normally scatter into a single, intense beam of light.

Learn this & much more with a visit to our museum & tower!
