The Pierson Mill in Essex County was built in 1830 by Lewis Pierson. Pierson used wood from the property to build a gristmill, and powered the turbines by building a 300 foot dam across the Rahway River. After 170 years, when the Pierson family finally had to close its doors, the property was bought by a local architect who rehabilitated the building. The preservation of this historic site contains the footprint of the original building, and now accommodates local businesses. (Photo courtesy of Preservation NJ)

For more than 70 years, the Lighthouse Camp on Barnegat Bay was a summer retreat for the blind and handicapped.

The project was part of TPL's Barnegat Bay Initiative, which has so far protected more than 6,500 acres in this 450-square-mile landscape of tidal shoreline, back bay islands, marsh creeks and pine-oak forest on the New Jersey shore.
