Settled by Quakers in 1699, Tuckerton is rich in history and coastal grandeur. Centered around Lake Pohatcong and the replica Tuckerton Seaport Lighthouse, the business district has preserved its historic charms. Small businesses abound, and now there are two more reasons to go into town: Press Clothing Boutique and the adjacent Blonde South Hair Co. salon.

Both shops are independent women-owned and operate side-by-side, as two separate entities. They opened a little over a month ago after an eight-week, full renovation and have quickly become established as part of the community.
