Sea Isle City Dedication Ceremony at Memorial Garden, Aug. 4

SEA ISLE CITY – Sat., Aug. 4, the Sea Isle City Historical Society will host an Open House and Dedication Ceremony to celebrate the completion of their new Memorial Garden, which is now located outside of the Cape May County Library’s Sea Isle branch at 4800 Central Avenue. Held in partnership with the Cape May County Library System, the Open House will begin at 11:00 a.m. inside the Historical Society’s museum on the first level of the library, and the Dedication Ceremony will take place at 12 noon outside in the garden. After the dedication ceremony is over, the public will be invited back inside the museum, where the Open House will continue until 2:00 p.m.

The new Memorial Garden features beautiful landscaping, a pathway accented with personalized brick pavers, bench seating, and a statue of Neptune, the God of the Seas, which was brought to SeaIsle City from Italy during the late 1800’s by the town’s founder, Charles K. Landis. The garden is also the home of a ship’s mast that was salvaged from the George F. Skolfield, which was shipwrecked off the coast of Sea Isle City in 1920.

According to Historical Society President Mike Stafford, the public is welcome to purchase additional personalized brick pavers for the garden’s pathway at a cost $200 each.

“The bricks are a wonderful way to remember a loved one and to help preserve our town’s history,” said Stafford.
