The continuation of our Gallery Talks series
with a discussion of the 2016-2017 Richmond Gallery exhibition, The Presidents
at the Monmouth County Shore. One hundred years ago, in September, 1916, 25,000
people gathered on the grounds of what is today Monmouth University—then a
private estate called Shadow Lawn—to see Woodrow Wilson officially accept the
nomination of the Democratic Party for a second Presidential run. Wilson was
following a popular tradition among American Presidents to retreat to our slice
of the Jersey Shore to escape the heat and hubbub of Washington. This exhibit
told the wide-ranging stories of thirteen Presidents who spent time here, at the
Monmouth County shore.
Peggy Dellinger, Exhibit Director of the
Township of Ocean Historical Museum discusses the exhibition; Produced by Ted
Dellinger; Music is by Bill Madden.
The Township of Ocean Historical Museum is
a 501(c)(3) charity, and a 100% volunteer organization, that tells the story of
Coastal Monmouth County, New Jersey, USA.
Funding for Gallery Talks was provided by
the New Jersey Cultural
Trust.
