A grand re-opening of the Historical Society Museum will be Memorial Day weekend.
New location and updated exhibits.
The historical society museum building, which once stood next to Old City Hall, is now a parking lot. The musuem is now right next door inside the newly remodeled City Hall.
Old City Hall received a $2.5 million dollar renovation to repair damage from Hurricane Sandy.
The grand opening is Sunday, May 28 at 2p.
The society’s museum on South Washington Avenue contains the original Margate jail cell – direct from a 1917-era Navy destroyer. See the original Margate pull-cart fire engine from 1885 too.
Historical artifacts, documents and exhibits. Stuff from when Margate was called South Atlantic City. Enjoy exhibits featuring old beach badges, blueprints, photos, maps, displays and classic artifacts of Lucy the Elephant.
The Margate Library has teamed up with the Margate Historical Society to preserve the City’s rich history.
