Jersey Shore Activities for the Weekend of Feb. 19-21
This week’s city feature in the Jersey Shore is Long Branch, NJ. Long Branch was a beach resort town in the late 1700s. In the 1800s it was a “Hollywood” of the east, where some of the greatest theatrical and other performers of the day gathered and performed. It was visited by presidents Chester A. Arthur, James A. Garfield, Ulysses S. Grant, Benjamin Harrison, Rutherford B. Hayes, William McKinley, and Woodrow Wilson. Seven Presidents Park, a park near the beach, is named in honor of their visits. The Church of the Presidents, where all seven worshiped, is the only structure left in Long Branch associated with them.
