History

Love bringing local history to you. Giving you a quick history lesson custom designed for us here at the Jersey Shore. We have a rich history here in New Jersey and at the Jersey Shore.

One of the things I enjoy when looking at what stories to share with you is looking at history here at the Jersey Shore and I love to learn about where we live. As they say “You can’t really know where you are going until you know where you have been.”~ Maya Angelou.

When we think of old schools in Ocean County, we can have a hard time coming up with ideas because for the most part all districts have fairly new schools and would not be considered old or “antique”.

Wow! what an exciting time in Ocean County history. It was on this day (June 2nd) that New Jersey and Ocean County got a visit from an aviation icon!

It is the oldest church in all of Monmouth County, New Jersey. It's the Old Tennent Church in Manalapan which has roots dating back to 1692.

So when we look into history, whether here at the Jersey Shore or anywhere in the world, it can lead us down many roads and sometimes you find your answer and other times you end up simply with more questions.

I love to give you articles that help educate and bring awareness to events, organizations and buildings of history here at the Jersey Shore. To give you some insight into things that helped shape our communities here at the Jersey Shore and around New Jersey.

History is a hobby now for me and the more I can find out about our own local “Jersey Shore” history, the better. We may not have the “oldest” history here at the Shore, but we are definitely not the “youngest”.

The weather is so flipping refreshing, I just want to go on New Jersey adventures! I've been researching some cool places to go on the weekends now that we are all able to get out more and I stumbled upon this spooky and historical find!

This time April and I were off to Gloucester County in search of the oldest home in New Jersey. In fact this is one of the oldest in America
