Lucy the Elephant

Galloway Travel Guide Lucy the Elephant is a unique and iconic attraction located in Galloway, New Jersey. This impressive six-story structure was built in 1881 and is a National Historic Landmark, making it a must-see for any visitors to the area.

Lucy was originally constructed as a real estate promotion for a nearby community, but she has since become a beloved symbol of the Jersey Shore and a popular tourist destination. Standing at 65 feet tall and weighing a whopping 90 tons, Lucy is the oldest surviving example of zoomorphic architecture and a fascinating piece of American history.

Her interior is now a museum, filled with interactive exhibits and historical information about her construction and cultural significance. Visitors can climb to the top of the howdah (the box on her back) and enjoy stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding area. Lucy the Elephant is a one-of-a-kind attraction and a must-visit for history buffs, families, and anyone looking for a whimsical stop on their trip to the New Jersey shore.
