AVALON HISTORY CENTER: SEEKING ARTIFACTS! The Avalon History Center is working on a three-part presentation on the history of Avalon. The series will include the “railroad age” from 1888-1939, wartime years through the 1962 storm, and the modern era. The History Center is appreciative of all artifacts, but staff are specifically seeking recordings of music from the Marine Ballroom, photos and stories from the Bongo Room and Catacombs bar, video clips of Ed McMahon speaking about Avalon on the Tonight Show, and photographs of Avalon hotels in the 1960s and 1970s. To donate contact the museum at 609-967-0090, or stop by the History Center at 215 39th Street.

It was the only way to go—and the best way to get here—at least for a while! Passenger railroads reached the South Jersey Shore In the late 1800s and early 1900s and opened up the Shore to residents of Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. As better automobiles and highways became more common, train service to and from Shore locations eventually diminished, as evidenced by the limited number of departures from 96th Street shown in the ad above.
