Sunday May 19, 2024, 1:00 pm 
A Historic Marker will be placed in the area of the site of Thomas Potter’s Cave, primitive first home of Ocean Township’s earliest European settler, on May 19th at 1:00 p.m., hosted by the Museum at the Stucile Farm Water Tower.
Born in England in 1630, Thomas Potter immigrated to New England with his family as a young child. Years later, possibly drawn by land available to Englishmen under the terms of the “Monmouth Patent” after the British takeover of New Amsterdam in 1664, Thomas relocated to New Jersey. As early as 1670, records show he owned 552 acres in the area of Ocean Township known as Poplar (from today’s Poplar Road in Wayside east into Oakhurst).
Thomas arrived to an Ocean Township inhabited only by Native Americans. There was no saw mill to provide lumber, no blacksmith to forge nails, no kiln to bake bricks. He, like many other early Monmouth County settlers, carved shelter for himself in the banks of a stream. His early “cave” was dug about four feet deep. Its walls were built up with rocks. Tree limbs covered with mud and branches formed the roof. Stories of Potter’s Cave were passed down through generations. It was a point of reference in old deeds. And for years, it was the object of a quest for local historians Jim Foley and Dr. Rich Fernicola.
Following the clues from historic documents, Jim and Rich began their search along Harvey Brook. But not until they shifted their attention to Poplar Brook did their persistence pay off.
Because of the its fragility, the Museum is not revealing the site’s exact location.
Join us for the unveiling and dedication of the Potters Cave Historic Marker. Jim Foley and Dr. Rich Fernicola will speak about the site and its historical significance.

WEST PARK RECREATION CENTER

Spring Speaker Event - “For a Wonderful Vacation, Go by Train! Railroads and Jersey Shore Vacationing”
Wednesday, June 12, 2024, at 7:00 p.m.
West Park Recreation Center, 615 W Park Ave, Oakhurst, NJ 07755
Nestled halfway between two of America's most important cities, the Jersey Shore seems perfectly positioned to be a vacation destination. What was once desolate beachfront did not become a vacationing mecca overnight. Railroads were the defining factor in creating and shaping the development of the Shore as a center for everything from day trips to whole summer vacations. As the winds of technology changed, the passenger-centric Jersey Shore railroads were able to turn into the breeze and refocus to commuters, redefining themselves and the Jersey Shore as a whole. This work explores railroads and their effects on Jersey Shore, especially vacationing and commuting, focusing through the lens of railroad-publications like timetables and advertisements.
Bill Elwell is an adjunct professor of history at Monmouth University and a lifelong Jersey Shore resident. Much of that life has been spent exploring all different aspects of railroads, especially local ones, through history, modeling, and railfanning. Additionally, Bill is a member of the Board of the Ocean County Historical Society, formerly worked in historical outreach for Monmouth County, and is proud to help share our common story.
The presentation is open to the public and refreshments will be served. 
June 12, 2024, at 7:15 pm at the West Park Recreation Center (Next to Park Avenue Tennis Center and Ocean Community Pool Complex) on W. Park Avenue, Oakhurst.
