A few months ago we took a road trip down through southern New Jersey on the historical marker and lighthouse trail. We spent 4 days following the trail and learning a lot of history on the area. Millions of people drive by historical markers and never look at them. We're trying to give attention to this markers and the history that you can learn by reading them. While driving through North Wildwood in New Jersey we came across a brand new historical marker. Here's the information for it. Borough of Anglesea 1185-1906 Borough Hall Nathan Yowdall built a three-story social hall on this site in 1902 and planned to rent the first floor to the Anglesea Fire Company. But Mayor & Council purchased the entire building, holding their first meeting in the new hall on January 22, 1903. After an August 1922 fire the top floor was removed; the remaining floors were used by the Fire Company and later Civil Defense until the building was torn down in 2001. City of North Wildwood, New Jersey If you're interested in the historical marker trail or the lighthouses in southern New Jersey, you can find all kinds of information, posts, and photographs on the blog.
The New Jersey State Barbecue Championship and Anglesea Blues Festival is a three-day celebration of food and music.
When traveling we always take the time to seek out historical markers along the way. Millions of people just drive or walk by them every year without giving them a glance. Historical markers contain local historic information about the area you live in or visiting. Often times facts that you don't learn in history books nor online. They're a great source of information. While on a road trip down to the south Jersey Shore we stumbled upon the new Anglesea Railroad Station historical marker in North Wildwood, New Jersey. Here's the information. Borough of Anglesea 1885-1906 Anglesea Railroad Station The first and only station of the Anglesea Railroad was built on this site in 1884. Plaqued by erratic service and a right-of-way susceptible to flooding, the Anglesea Railroad soon went bankrupt and was taken over by the West Jersey Railroad in 1888. The station here was then converted into a freight dock known as the "Fish Depot", where the daily catch of Hereford Inlet's fishing fleet was shipped to Camden and Philadelphia. City of North Wildwood, New Jersey The building is no longer there. Matter of fact...the space was turned into a little park containing Veteran Memorials and a brand new Gold Star Families memorial is planned for 2023. There's a park bench you can sit on and a paved walking path around the little park.

During our most recent visit to the Anglesea Pub we enjoyed some great food! My wife ordered chicken fingers & french fries. I enjoyed a Philly cheesesteak and french fries, along with a delicious Rootbeer Float cocktail. Our order was on our table within 20 minutes of placing it. Everything was delicious! Our waitress was very nice and friendly. Refills on beverages were offered in a timely manner and the food wasn't overly expensive. They offer a full array of domestic and imported beer and wine. If you have small children traveling with you, you'll find a small kid's menu too. If you have any dietary concerns...let the wait staff know before placing your order. They're happy to adjust things to accommodate your needs. If you're a sport's fan you'll find numerous TVs available streaming a variety of different type's of sports, games and teams. One thing that we really enjoyed about the pub is that it wasn't overly noisy or crowded when we were there. We sat in a booth and enjoyed a good meal. The atmosphere was great!

Built in 1880 by Detlef Lienau for dry good merchant Walter H. Lewis, is was sold to the Pierson Family of New York. Soon after purchasing the home, Mrs Pierson, the former Susan Rhodes, inherited a nearby cottage, Roselawn, which was right down the street. Like the Van Alen children, who split their early Newport summers between Wakehurst and Rosetta Cottage, the Pierson children split their summers between Anglsea and Roselawn. Mr and Mrs Pierson, along with daughter Marguerite, were included amongst Mrs Astor's 400. On the Piersons death, the house passed through several family heirs, eventually ending up in the hands of Mrs Beverly Bogert, a fashionable hostess who lived in the house till her death in 1996. Afterwards it was sold and it is now a private residence.

Guests of the Youngs included the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and John F. Kennedy, who used the indoor swimming poor for therapy on his back.
Situated on a sloping site, the module touches the earth lightly and is elevated off the ground on structural posts. With a size of 106 m2 the residence is minimal in size but grand in design intent. A green roof sits atop of the structure, tying the built form beautifully back into the landscape. This design captured elements of the Lennon 02.

Over the past 7 years we've been following the New Jersey Historical Marker Trail all through the Garden State and documenting them here on the blog. Millions of people walk or drive by these markers every year and never give them a second thought. They're a great source of historic information and we're trying to bring some much needed attention to them. While on a road trip through southern New Jersey we stumbled upon the Anglesea Railroad historical marker located in Anglesea, New Jersey. If you're unfamiliar with the area, Anglesea is a small borough located on the northern tip of the Wildwood island. Anglesea Railroad The stone block below marks the original terminus of the Anglesea Railroad, as shown on a map field with the Secretary of State linked with the West Jersey Railroad at a point 2.6 miles south of Cape May Court House Station, and eventually ran from this point southwest to Holly Beach Borough. By: Borough of Anglesea Location: You'll find the historical marker on Allen Drive in North Wildwood (Anglesea Borough), in New Jersey. It's located in a residential housing development on the northern tip of the island. If you read the marker it states the "stone block below" but the ONLY stone block that we saw was the whitish-colored, small cement block that you see in the second photo located by the bush/tree line. I don't know if the "official" block is buried in the overgrowth of the bushes & trees or if that little cement block is what they're referring too.
