In Long Branch People and Places, tour stately summer homes, visit hotels of the gilded age, and behold Long Branch s famed Ocean Pier widely considered a 19th-century engineering marvel. Through this collection of more than 200 photographs, discover how Long Branch developed into a significant resort in the 1800s, and gain insight into its business power, educational life, and spiritual being."
