Big news for Lucy! 🎉🐘
With the incredible advocacy and support of Senator Cory Booker, the Save Lucy Committee has secured a $350,000 grant for Lucy’s interior restoration. Funding from the National Park Service’s Save America’s Treasures program and the New Jersey Historic Trust has been awarded for this project, which will protect and preserve our beloved Jersey Shore pachyderm.
Thank you, Senator Booker, for helping ensure Lucy continues to stand tall for generations to come. ✨

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, Lucy’s store now has three brand-new glassware styles: a shot glass, a rocks glass, and a classic pint glass—perfect for whatever you’re sipping while celebrating! Even better? They’re currently discounted, making it the perfect time to pick one up—or collect the whole set while supplies last. Link to buy in the comments! ☘️🐘
This undated photo captures Lucy sometime between 1929 and 1944, something we can tell from the shape of her howdah and the long-lost Margate boardwalk. While so much has changed over the decades, one thing has remained the same: Lucy has been capturing hearts and sparking wonder for generations. ✨🐘
So excited to share this rare gem! ✨ This photo comes from a fashion shoot in and around Atlantic City featured in LIFE Magazine in May 1968—and, of course, our beloved Lucy stole the spotlight. 💖🐘
As you can see, Lucy was in quite fragile condition by the late ’60s. Thankfully, just two years later, she was moved two blocks south to her current home and underwent the major restoration that helped save her for generations to come.
This photo may be weathered by time, but it still gives us all the feels. ❤️ A wonderful throwback from the fall of 1986, when Mr. Rogers came to visit Lucy! Here he is next to Save Lucy Committee co-founder and president, Josephine Harron—two people who understood just how special Lucy is. ✨🐘
