The History Chick
From hidden gems to hometown legends, we explore history, folklife, and culture in New Jersey and the Tri-State Area. Whether it’s Revolutionary War tales, boardwalk stories, or local folklore, The History Chick is here to keep the past alive—and a little bit sassy.
The History Chick
Church of the Presidents
5? 7? Who cares!?!? There were at least 5 Presidents that came and summered in (even if it was a short stop - McKinley, I'm lookin at you!) Long Branch, New Jersey. Known back then as "the Branch" we'll take a look at the chapel's building, its famous congregants, and the future of the building thanks to historic preservation.
