How will donations be spent?

The Stafford Township Historical Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation (charitable registration number: CH15145) dedicated to historic preservation and education in Stafford Township. (The shack, although regarded as an LBI landmark, is located in Stafford.) We are most appreciative of its support and interest in this mission. Visit them at StaffordHistory.org

As this web site develops, we hope to include a collection of articles, art and photos representing the shack over the years.

To kick off this effort, click here to see some wonderful photos and watercolors that have already been sent in. Also on this page is an architectural rendering of what the restored shack could look like (which includes a floor plan) done by Joseph Tarella, a Manhattan-based architect and longtime LBI visitor.

We would like to see your shack photos! If you have any old ones (especially pre-1980) or "shack art" you've created, please share it with us.

You can upload jpg or gif files from your computer and send it to be used on this web page by clicking here.
