    What a hidden gem! We've passed the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum for years and finally…read morestopped in--and we're so glad we did. The volunteers gave us what felt like a private tour, sharing not only the history of the station but also fascinating stories about Ocean City itself. We loved learning how the shoreline once came right up to the station, how the surfmen lived and worked, and how the station was brought back into service during World War II because of U-boats. The realistic mannequins, original equipment, and period rooms make it easy to imagine life there over a century ago. Best of all, admission is free, and it's clear the volunteers put their hearts into preserving this history. If you're visiting Ocean City, don't make the mistake we did and keep walking past it. It's absolutely worth a visit.

    If you're at the shore and want to take a short break from all the sun and surf and other…read moreactivities, how about indulging in a little history. The historic life saving station in the north end of Ocean City is a pleasant journey into a bit of maritime history. You can still see some of the old life boats which were used in rescue attempts of people imperiled in and on the sea. The original kitchen and bedrooms are still here which were used by the men and women who worked at this facility and saved many a life over the years. Interesting enough - at one time this life saving station was directly on the beach and ocean but the years have shifted the sands and now it is a very long block inland from the water. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

The marker is in excellent condition and is located on the grounds of the Absecon Lighthouse. It reads, "From September 19 to 24 1910, about 45 years after the last shot of the Civil War was fired, the 44th National Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) Encampment (convention) was held in Atlantic City. The G.A.R., a Union (Northern) Civil War veteran's organization, had in attendance over 18,000 of its 214,000 members arriving from across the nation, many still suffering from wounds inflicted decades before in the War Between the States. The days of the gathering were marked by parades, and meetings for the Encampment were held at Steel, Million Dollar, Steeplechase, and Young's Ocean piers. Among the notable Civil War veterans in attendance were Major General Daniel E. Sickles, Lt. General Nelson A. Miles, and Johnny Clem, the famous "Drummer Boy of Chickamauga."" "It was the only time in the 83-year history of the Grand Army of the Republic that a National Encampment was held in New Jersey." "Erected on September 25, 2010 to commemorate the 100th Anniversary." The marker was installed in 2010 by The City of Atlantic City Grand Army of the Republic Centennial Committee.
