Amish Made Barnegat Stone Lighthouse Mailbox You will be delighted with this Amish made lighthouse mailbox. Get your mail in style! These lighthouse mailboxes are known for their exquisite detail, quality, and aesthetics. They are also great as gift items. Completing the authentic lighthouse look is the solar light atop the lighthouse. The lighthouse perched atop this mailbox is modeled after the lighthouse located in Barnegat Lighthouse State Park on the northern tip of Long Beach Island. The conical, brick and iron lighthouse is affectionately known as "Old Barney". The 172 foot tall tower was finished in 1857 and replaced a much shorter (40 foot) tower that was being threatened by the encroaching sea. In fact, the old tower collapsed in the same year that the new one was finished. The real Barnegat lighthouse flashes a white beacon every 10 seconds. These lighthouse mailboxes are carefully crafted by Amish woodcrafters in Pennsylvania. These woodcrafters have been designing and building their unique products for many years and their work is masterful.
