The September program will feature Rick Geffken, co-author of “Lost Amusement Parks of the North Jersey Shore, 1965-2015.” He will share rare pictures from the Library of Congress, local historical societies and private collections highlighting some of the places that made the Jersey Shore the iconic vacation destination that it is today.
