Lakehurst Historical Society Invites Visits To Museum And Hindenburg Talks

LAKEHURST – With the 86th anniversary of the Hindenburg tragedy fast approaching, the members of the Lakehurst Historical Society are inviting everyone to come visit the Lakehurst Historical Society Museum on Center Street. The museum is open every Wednesday and Sunday from 12:30 to 3 p.m.

The group’s motto is “museums don’t entomb the past - they keep the past alive!”

The LHS is also continuing their Hindenburg Experience talks on the third and fourth Sundays of each month from 12:30 to 3 p.m. at the museum located at 300 Center Street.

The talk is free, but donations are gratefully accepted.

The presenter of that program, LHS member Bill Schmidt noted, “we are also available to present this same Hindenburg Experience talk to your Woman’s Club, Men’s Club, Residence Clubs, Veterans Club, Historical Societies, Girl and Boy Scouts clubs, local schools and library branches in Ocean County plus other organization meetings upon request.”

“We will come to you. The talk is approximately 30 to 45 minutes long. Come experience the last flight of the Hindenburg from Frankfurt Germany to Lakehurst in 1937. At 803.8 feet in length and 135.1 feet in diameter, the German passenger airship Hindenburg (LZ-129) was the largest aircraft ever to fly,” Schmidt said.

The commercial flights of Hindenburg, along with Graf Zeppelin, pioneered the fi rst transatlantic air service. She carried hundreds of passengers and traveled thousands of miles before it burned in a tragic fi re on May 6, 1937 at Naval Air Station Lakehurst (now part of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst).

Schmidt added, “join us through your imagination on a trip through Hindenburg’s history.” For more information, call LHSM at 732-575-6904 or e-mail BillSchmidt1000@aol.com.
