’97 Exhibit Ocean Township, Then and Now
Interest in local history is growing as we approach the end of this century. Baby Boomers are researching their roots. Neighboring towns are celebrating centennials. Antique and collectible fairs attract large crowds. We begin to think about the Township of Ocean’s Sesquicentennial in 1999
Featuring the Images of America book, we will highlight historic Areas of Ocean Township, what brought us here, and how vibrant community groups still flourish amidst changes to the community. Do you have any memorabilia photos or artifacts from any era, which will help with our exhibit? Call 531-2136.
Playhouse
Repairs are completed on the Playhouse. Grant money from Monmouth County Historical Commission has helped to replace the door and the damaged floor, and provide for a new cedar fence.
