Wildwood Museum: “Railroads, Tourism, & Commuters at the Jersey Shore”

Railroads were the defining factor in creating and shaping the development of the Shore as a center for everything: from day trips to whole summer vacations!

Join Bill Elwell, an adjunct professor of history at Monmouth University and lifelong Jersey Shore resident, at the George F. Boyer Museum as we explore railroads and their effects on the Jersey Shore, especially on vacationing and commuting, through the lens of railroad publications like timetables and advertisements.
