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. ✨

Then and now. Never underestimate the power of a community that refuses to give up. Lucy stands today because people believed she was worth saving—and fought to protect her. Her story continues because of you. ❤️🐘

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. ✨🐘

Lucy checked the forecast and couldn’t believe her eyes… SUNSHINE! ☀️ With beautiful weather and temps in the mid-40s this weekend, it’s the perfect time to visit Lucy before the spring/summer crowds arrive. We’re open Saturday and Sunday—she’ll be waiting! ❤️🐘

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.

We know Lucy looks good in a winter coat... but this is ridiculous! Hope everyone stayed safe during the storm, and please be careful digging out. Only 91 days until Memorial Day. ❄️🐘

Well, this certainly gave new meaning to the phrase "Wide Load." 😂 A rare photo of Lucy being moved to her new location along Atlantic Avenue on July 20, 1970.

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. ✨🐘
