EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white image captures the essence of Tent Life at Ocean Grove, New Jersey, circa 1906. Located in Neptune Township, Monmouth County, this seaside resort town was a popular destination for tourists in the early 1900s. The photograph, taken as a dry plate or glass negative, showcases the quaint and rustic charm of Ocean Grove's camping grounds. The image reveals a collection of white tents neatly arranged on the grassy grounds, with a few trees and shrubs scattered throughout. In the background, the silhouette of a grand, historic building can be seen, adding a sense of community and structure to the scene. The simple, yet elegant tents, along with the surrounding natural beauty, represent a time when the simple pleasures of nature and the great outdoors were cherished. Ocean Grove, New Jersey, was unique in that it was a Christian camp meeting place, and the tents were only allowed to be rented for a week at a time. This ensured that the grounds remained a peaceful and serene retreat for visitors seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. The image serves as a reminder of a bygone era, when the simple joys of tent life and the great outdoors were the focus of summer vacations. This photograph, from the collection of the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich heritage and history of Ocean Grove, New Jersey, and the United States as a whole. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the beauty and simplicity of a time long gone.
