Barnegat, NJ—Unshredded Nostalgia, one of New Jersey’s premier antique establishments and its only metropolitan-style poster gallery with seasonal exhibits, announces a historically significant collection of artifacts and memorabilia from Ocean County. The exhibit titled “Memories of Ocean County” opens to the public on April 19, 2008, with an opening night gala reception from 5-7 PM. The exhibit is free to the general public and will run thru the summer.

The exhibit, will be housed in the photo gallery room, and will feature maps, deeds, photographs, postcards, posters, stock certificates, and much more. All items on display have been collected from residents and businesses from around the state capturing the unique history and diverse heritage of the last 100 years from cities such as Long Beach Island, Beach Haven, Barnegat Light, Barnegat, Surf City, Ship Bottom, Manahawkin, and Tuckerton.

“This is one of finest collections of Ocean County memorabilia that I have ever seen,” says owner and life-long Ocean County resident Jim Episale.” I’ve seen some a few artifacts from the area in state museums, but never a comprehensive display with this scope.”
