Summary
In 1869, a group of Methodist clergymen led by William B. Osborn and Ellwood H. Stokes founded the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association to develop a summer camp meeting site just south of Asbury Park on the New Jersey shore. Famous for its surf meetings (literally, camp meetings held on the beach, often within the pounding Atlantic surf), Ocean Grove became a popular camp meeting ground and was recognized as the "Queen of Religious Resorts" by the early twentieth century. Today, Ocean Grove is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and attracts visitors for its wealth of ornate Victorian architecture, its beaches, and of course, its camp meetings (it is still the longest-active camp meeting site in the United States). Published during Ocean Grove's 50th anniversary in 1919, The Story of Ocean Grove traces the early history of the storied camp meeting site and features numerous illustrations of Ocean Grove scenes
