Atlantic City's history is so fascinating, so lush, and so evocative of the late 19th Century and early years of the 20th Century that any first-time visitor to the city is required make an appearance at the Atlantic City Historical Museum. (OK, ok, no one can make you go, but how could you not?)
It's all here: the famous Boardwalk's beginnings, Mr. Peanut, original sand art, Heinz pickle jars, the Miss America Pageant, archival Thomas Edison beach photographs, and the famous high-diving horse from the Steel Pier.
This museum preserves and showcases Atlantic City's long and exciting history as a unique seaside resort town known for such landmarks as the famous Boardwalk and more.
