View this email in your browser Spring Speaker Event - "Lost Amusement Parks of the North Jersey Shore" Wednesday, June 13, 2018, 7:15 pm Township of Ocean Board of Education (Old Oakhurst School), Auditorium, 163 Monmouth Road, Oakhurst, NJ 07755 Coastal Monmouth County has been a summer destination for vacationers seeking relief from the heat of the city since the early 19th century. And in the 20th century—within the memory of many of us—the lure of our beaches, boardwalks, and rides moved millions of day-trippers to take to their cars and travel down Route 35 (and later the Parkway) in search of sea air and summer excitement. At the Museum’s next Speaker Event, 7:15, Wednesday, June 13, at the Board of Education building, 163 Monmouth Road, Oakhurst, local historian Rick Geffken tells stories of amusements, now lost, that drew the crowds to our shore. From Highlands to Manasquan, with stops in Long Branch, Asbury, and Ocean Grove, he shares images and tales of resorts, rides, theme parks, and the characters behind them. Rick has written three books and many articles on Monmouth County history. He retired from a career as a sales executive for Hewlett-Packard. He is a retired U.S. Army officer and Viet Nam veteran. The speaker event is open to the public, free of charge. Donations are appreciated. Refreshments are served. (We collect and welcome non-perishable items for the Fulfill food bank.) 2018-06-13 - Spring Speaker Event The Township of Ocean Historical Museum, founded in 1984, is a member-supported, 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey.
