This week I finally got around to getting a photo and sharing my admiration for what I’m calling the “cross on the lake.” It’s the illuminated cross on the bank of Lake Pohatcong in Downtown Tuckerton, across from the historic Tuckerton Seaport.
I have seen this image for years as I head out to work in the early pre-dawn hours. I have often wondered what was the back story, so I put it out there to local residents here in Ocean County and as I expected, I had response.
It turns out the Disbrow family is responsible for building the cross and David Disbrow was kind enough to take time and share the story with us.
