About Historical Society of Ocean Grove

Founded in 1969, this nonprofit society works to document and protect the history of Ocean Grove, a planned 19th-century resort community on the Jersey Shore. Its museum on Pitman Avenue holds collections, archives, and a library, and it also runs Centennial Cottage, a historic house it has hosted since 1969. The group advocates for the preservation of the town's historic buildings and runs events such as an annual house tour. Admission to its museum and cottage is free, with an optional donation suggested for visitors.
