Welcome to the website for the Point Pleasant Historical Society and Museum!
The members of the Point Pleasant Historical pay homage to Margaret “Peg” Busse as the person who planted the seed of a historical society in our founding in 1976.
Peg worked tirelessly to sign up new members, offered her home and yard for meetings. She advanced our goals, kept our records and made the Shore Harbour Historical Society famous for Beach Plum Jam until retiring in 1990. We thank her and Carolyn Martin who wrote the book on the society. Other founding members were Jim and Pat Malone who joined the society over 25 years ago along with Jerry Woolley, Jeff Heim and Kathy Heim.
Meetings are usually held at the Woman’s Club building, 513 St. Louis Avenue, Point Pleasant Beach, and begin at 7:30 P.M. We meet on the second Monday of the month, from March through November (no meetings in July or August). Each meeting features an informative guest speaker, which is announced in the monthly newsletter.
Our current slate of officers and board members are as follows:
PRESIDENT: James F. Malone
