PreservationNJ just ran a poll asking for favorite New Jersey historical destinations, and the results are in!
The people of the Garden State have spoken – at 217 votes (as of midnight last night, when the poll officially closed) the Wildwoods, with outstanding boardwalks, thrilling amusements, and one of the world’s most intact collections of mid-twentieth century resort architecture, is New Jersey’s favorite heritage tourism destination!While the Wildwoods’ 217 votes undoubtedly won the contest, other nominees also garnered significant support. The Hereford Inlet Lighthouse, a restored historic landmark in North Wildwood, came in second with 134 votes, while the Stickley Museum at Craftsman Farms in Parsippany and the Cadwalader Heights Historic District in Trenton each ended up with close to 50 votes. The Alice Paul Institute in Mount Laurel was our fifth place nominee, garnering 27 votes.
Had we known about it earlier, we would have rushed over to their site and stuffed the ballot box with votes for Craftsman Farms!
Via Wildwoods-by-the-sea is New Jersey’s favorite heritage tourism destination! « PreserveNJ
