Talks with Our Ten Most: Sandy Hook/Fort Hancock

This is an unedited recording of Preservation NJ's August 10, 2023 unscripted conversation with Sandy Hook Foundation President, Pete Izzo, and Shawn Welch, a retired Army engineer officer and Co-Chair of the Secretary of the Interior's Fort Hancock Federal Advisory Committee. This virtual event was a part of PNJ's series, "Talks with Our Ten Most," where we share updates -- and lessons learned -- from past PNJ Ten Most Endangered Sites. Sandy Hook, specifically Fort Hancock, was listed in 1995. See more at: https://www.preservationnj.org/10-most. Fort Hancock and Sandy Hook Proving Ground National Historic Landmark are home to several batteries and historic Army buildings, the oldest surviving lighthouse in the U.S., and a former United States Life-Saving Service station building which bears witness to the maritime history of this peninsula. Since 1895, Fort Hancock was one of the places vital to American defense up to the nuclear age. For more on Sandy Hook history, see: https://www.nps.gov/gate/learn/histor.... The Sandy Hook Foundation is the official friends group to the National Park Service at Sandy Hook, New Jersey, a unit of Gateway National Recreation Area. Established in 1989, the Foundation has funded cultural, educational, environmental, and conservation programs and has helped restore and preserve historic structures of the Sandy Hook Lighthouse and Fort Hancock — both National Historic Landmarks.
