A new exhibit opens Sunday, April 7, from 1 to 4, at the Eden Woolley House, 703 Deal Road, Ocean Township. It celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Oakhurst Fire Department. For the occasion—and to show how much fire-fighting has changed—the Department is bringing along its original hand-drawn hose cart from 1913 and an up-to-date fire truck from its current fleet. Inside the museum, a multi-media exhibit traces the history of fire-fighting and the local fire company through photos and artifacts. Firemen will be on hand to answer questions and show off the equipment. Admission is free, children are welcome, and homemade refreshments will be served. The exhibit remains through the summer.
If you don't have a trip to the Bahamas planned - or even if you do - dispel the winter blues with thoughts of spring. Better yet, turn those thoughts into action, by signing up for the Township of Ocean Historical Museum bus trip, Wednesday April 17, 2013, to the legendary Longwood Gardens, Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. A visit to its colorful blooms is the perfect way to celebrate the season.
The bus leaves at 8:30 am and returns at 6:00 pm. The trip costs $70 and includes transpotation, all admissions, optional guided tour, gratuities and lunch in the cafeteria dining room. (Quite a bargain!)
Call the Museum at (732) 531-2136 to reserve your place.
