Lost Amusement Parks of the North Jersey Shore In-Person

Step back into an era when the New Jersey shoreline was a wonderland of wooden coasters, carousel melodies, and endless summer joy. From Sandy Hook to Seaside Heights, a remarkable 120 miles of coastline once hummed with the vibrant energy of nearly 100 amusement parks—a forgotten playground of early 20th-century leisure. Presenter Rick Geffken will guide you through a remarkable historical journey, revealing how these amusement parks were more than just entertainment—they were the heartbeat of New Jersey's coastal communities.

Thanks to the Friends of the Monmouth County Library for their support of this program.
