Ocean Grove Bus Trip |
|
|
Where:
Bus leaving from Kenilworth
Cost:
$82
The Kenilworth Historical Society will host a bus trip to New Jersey’s famous historic seashore resort Ocean Grove on Saturday, May 17, 2008.
The bus will depart Kenilworth (St. Theresa’s School parking lot) at 9 a.m. and return at approximately 6 p.m. Cost of $82 includes motor coach transportation and a guided tour along Ocean Grove’s tree-lined thoroughfares, which showcase one of the largest assemblages of authentic Victorian architecture in the U.S.
The 90-minute narrated walking tour will highlight the colorful history of this popular family seashore resort, which is listed in the National and New Jersey Registers of Historic Places. Among the featured sites on the tour are Ocean Grove’s Great Auditorium, “Tent Colony” -- and more. The trip also includes lunch at a charming (c. 1890) Victorian inn and a visit to the Sandy Hook Visitors’ Center, with sights of the nation’s oldest operating lighthouse. Tax and gratuities are included in the price of the trip, which is being arranged and escorted by Progressive Travel of Union, N.J.
For further information and reservations, call 908-709-0391 or 908-709-0434. As space is limited, it is suggested that reservations be made as soon as possible to ensure availability.
Proceeds will benefit the Kenilworth Historical Society’s project to restore the local 19th- century Nitschke House and transform it into a “living history” museum and cultural arts center. The Kenilworth Historical Society is an independent, non profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to the research, preservation and interpretation of local history.
