NORTH WILDWOOD — The Hereford Inlet Lighthouse is marking Aug. 7, National Lighthouse Day, by offering free admission to children 12 and younger.

Steve Murray, the city's parks director, said National Lighthouse Day was established in 1988 by President Ronald Reagan to recognize lighthouses and their place in America's history.

Murray said New Jersey once had 49 lighthouses and that number is down to about 22. Of those, about a dozen are open to the public at some time during the year.
