His nemesis during the war years, Alice Paul, was a militant suffragist from Burlington County who labelled the president “Kaiser Wilson.� Her White House picketing and arrest drew national attention and in large part led Wilson to reverse his opposition to the 19th Amendment.
One man’s story
The big picture
Behind the headlines are the stories of people. The exhibit tells, among others, of Joe Marino (born Giuseppe Maranaccio). Joe ended up in Asbury Park, U.S. citizen, father of four, and owner of Marino’s Bar on Main St. But he started life in Accadia, Italy. Italy, originally allied with Germany, remained neutral at the onset of war, then sided with the Allies.

Ocean’s Heritage, Spring 2017
Mrs. James Garfield (aka Heather MacDonald) had students enraptured as she gave her first-hand account of the death of her husband, the country’s 20th President, at Franklyn Cottage in Elberon. The President had been shot at the train station in Washington, D.C., July 2, 1881, just four months after his inauguration. He was taken to Long Branch in September in hope that the sea air would bring recovery.
OTIS sixth-graders visit the Museum
O
ver two mornings the first week of April, ninety or so sixth-graders from the Ocean Township Intermediate School visited the Museum to see the “Presidents at the Shore” exhibit. It was the second year in a row that teacher Pete Ryan brought his history classes to tour the galleries and take advantage of an exhibit that covered topics he was teaching.
The students were asked to consider the question: What attracted the Presidents to Monmouth County (particularly in the late 19th and early 20th century)? The kids (all born in the 21st century) were asked to imagine the heat and smell of Washington

County Historian profiles the people and politics that put the Jersey Shore on the map
M
onmouth County Historian Randall Gabrielan is a prolific author and undisputed authority on the history of our region. He is also a good friend to the Museum who has given his support and shared his expertise generously through the years. He will speak at the auditorium of the Board of Education Building, 163 Monmouth Road, Oakhurst at 7:15, Tuesday, June 6, on the people and politics covered in his recent book, The Birth of the Jersey Shore. The book’s table of contents is a Who’s Who of the famous (and not so famous) personalities who left their mark. They are artists, inventors, entertainers, entrepreneurs, environmentalists, historians, and politicians. The eclectic collection of biographies has one common theme: an influence on the Jersey Shore that helped make it what it is today.
Some names and stories are familiar. We know about Grant and Wilson, Marconi, Springsteen, Stephen Crane, Dorothy Parker, Madame Marie, and Nucky Johnson (to name a few). But even more fascinating for their unfamiliarity are the characters who founded seaside communities, designed the Shore’s iconic buildings and saved others from the wrecking ball, pulled shipwrecked passengers from the sea, and enjoyed fame in their day as some of the country’s most beloved entertainers. Please join us June 6 to hear the stories from the author himself. Birth of the Jersey Shore will be available for purchase. The speaker event is open to the public, free of charge. (Bring your non-perishable donations for the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties.)

July 29 Flag-Raising
The American Doll Tea is set for July 16
E
ach July for the past eight years, young girls have brought their dolls and favorite adults to the Eden Woolley House for the annual American Doll Tea. This year, the popular event is set for 1 to 3:30, Sunday, July 16, (rain date, July 23). Guests who have also visited the American Girl Stores know it as the best value around! The grounds of the Woolley House are dotted with tents and tables where the girls complete a custom-made craft with the help of our teen docents and at the end of the day, enjoy homemade, childfriendly treats, lemonade, and iced tea. The girls hear an original story of the sisters who lived in the Woolley House in the 1800s. They tour the Museum, filled for the day with doll collections and living history demonstrations. A fully stocked Doll Shop offers hand-made doll clothes and accessories. Tickets are just $30 for an adult and one child (5 years and older). Additional children are $10 each; additional adults, $25. Tickets go on sale June 1st. Seating is limited and reservations are a must. Call 732-531-6040 or the Museum at 732-531-2136 to save your spot. The fashion show is a highlight of the afternoon. Here, at last year’s tea, emcee Brenda Wityk interviews 9-year-old Georgia Watt of Wall Township and her doll, Julie.

A mayor’s memories
Three Township Managers reflect
In March, Museum president Paul Edelson sat down to interview his lifelong friend, Dick English, former Ocean Township mayor (1979 to 1987). Dick tells the inside story of the founding of the Township’s Sanitation department, the acquisition of Deal Test Site, the expansion of Town Hall, the development of Seaview Square Mall (today the site of Costco, Target, and others), the suit against the state over the design of Rte. 18, and more.
When circumstances brought three former Township Managers together, Dallas sat them down to capture their reflections. Fenton Hudson, Greg Fehrenbach, and Andrew Brannen were among the Managers who ran the business of the Township from the late 1970s until this year. Much has changed and their collective memories, recorded May 5, paint an intriguing picture of the evolution. (As the newsletter goes to press, arrangements are underway to interview former Township Manager Dave Kochel on a return visit to town. Stay tuned!)
Stories of “Summer Showcase” In April, host Dallas Grove invited Marlyn Michaels and interior designer Charles Pavarini to share their memories of “Summer Showcase,” the open-air theater on Joe Palaia Park from 1974 to “Hometown Histories” host Dallas Grove (left) with Marlyn Michaels and Charles Pavarini after the videotaping of “Summer Showcase: Theater in the Park.”

e preserve land, structures, documents, artifacts, photos, and memories. Over the decades, our Township leaders have had the foresight to preserve land for public use in all sections of town. We have Dahrouge Park, Wanamassa Fireman’s Field, and the Larkin Golf Course in Wanamassa; Weltz Park, the Pool Complex, and Fireman’s Field in Oakhurst; and the Wayside Park and Community Gym Complex in Wayside. And most impressive is the 250 acres of Palaia Park and the Library/Museum complex, our own “Central Park.” The Museum has made its own contributions to preservation—from restoring the historic Eden Woolley House, to archiving historic documents, to capturing memories on paper and video. And we are currently committed to a major preservation project—saving the Tower behind the Library and opening it to the public as an adjunct to the Museum. The Tower stands as a symbol of our farming past. It was part of the Stucile Farm, now the site of the Museum, Library, and Human Services building. One by one, the farms that once covered our community gave way to development--the last, the Kaplan Farm on Bowne Road. Join our campaign to “Save the Tower” and help preserve this icon of our rural history. Paul Edelson

I Remember . . .
Ocean’s Heritage, Spring 2017
Marlyn Michaels was born and raised in Asbury Park and is a long-time Wanamassa resident. Her mother was a dancer (who worked at Atlantic City’s Steel Pier) and her father was an inventor and legendary pitchman. So, it’s no surprise that Marlyn has a gift for performance--and raising money. She sang, acted, produced, and raised funds for Summer Showcase, an open-air musical theater that put on professional caliber shows in Joe Palaia Park from 1974 to 1977.
Open-air musical theater in Joe Palaia Park

oday, strollers walk by without noticing the cement stage surrounded by wetland and bush, just off the trail in Joe Palaia Park near the Public Works buildings where the bridge crosses over Poplar Brook. But 40 years ago, that stage was alive with the sound of music! For four years, starting in 1974, the park was home to “Summer Showcase,” an outdoor musical theater produced and performed by Ocean Township residents.

and buses (to shuttle people from the Dow Avenue School parking lot to the theater). I turned to local businesses for support. Ticket sales helped, but Richard insisted we keep the price low (just $5) so everyone could afford to come. We brought in a professional director and set/costume designer for Carousel and Camelot, which added expense but really boosted the quality of our performances. Everyone pitched in. Volunteers built the stage and put up the tents that served as dressing rooms. They made the costumes and donated the materials. They were the stage crew, the musicians, the chorus, and the actors. It was true community theater.
Summer Showcase was the brain child of Richard Wroncy, then a music teacher in the Ocean Township schools.

his year’s annual Spring Tea—a sold-out success—paid homage to the country’s First Ladies. Eighty-nine guests gathered at Oakhurst’s West Park Recreation Center, Saturday, April 29, to enjoy homemade delicacies, take a chance in the gift auction, shop for hand-crafted items, and learn from Kirsten Kristensen of the White House (Oakhurst, not D.C.) all about tea. Brenda Wityk, event co-chair and Museum VP (Events), summed it up: “This year was special. For the first time we tied the Tea to our major Museum exhibit (“Presidents at the Shore”). The food was better than ever— the gift auction, bigger than ever. My thanks go out to the dozens of volunteers who work so hard to pull it off, to the businesses and individuals who supported the auction, and to our guests for making the Spring Tea an annual highlight.”
