Learn about historical Atlantic Highlands by "clicking" on one of the topics below ... Atlantic Highlands is a small Victorian town on the New Jersey shore overlooking lower New York Bay, with Manhattan in the distance. Its hills include the highest point on the eastern seaboard south of Maine. Many of Atlantic Highlands' Victorian homes have been preserved and restored, adding to the charm of small-town living and providing interesting walking tours in the historic district. Browse this website of the Atlantic Highlands Historical Society to get a taste of the old times and perhaps even be inspired to visit our town and our Society’s headquarters in the Strauss Mansion Museum.  Also gain information on Society events, membership and resources.  The Society will be adding many more photos and historic materials from its extensive archives.  Enjoy!  To see the 1894 panoramic map of Atlantic highlands, with accurate drawings of houses then existing, click on "Useful Links" above and then on "O.H. Bailey & Co. 1894 map"
