BARNEGAT HERITAGE VILLAGE AND THE BARNEGAT HISTORICAL SOCIETY 575 East Bay Avenue, Barnegat (609) 698-5284 www.barnegathistoricalsociety.com The aim of The Barnegat Historical Society is to preserve the Barnegat Heritage Village, the old buildings and shops that house a collection of artifacts and records which tell the story of the village of Barnegat. The Heritage Village consists of four major buildings and three smaller struc- tures dating from the late 1700s to early 1800s. The Lippincott-Faulkinburg House was the first building moved to the site. This house is dated by deeds to 1866, but is thought to be of 1700s origin due to its construction. The Edwards House was relocated to the Society's property in 1976. This structure was traced by deed to 1813, but it is believed to have been built earlier by James Edwards, a friend and contemporary of George Washington. Colonial artifacts and furnishings are housed here. The Barber Shop, circa 1880, houses many local artifacts from the 19th century. There is also the newly restored, turn-of-the-century Butcher Shop. Among the three smaller structures are a corncrib and an unusual three-hole neces- sary. Open Memorial Day - Labor Day on Saturdays 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM.
