WHAT CAN I DO?
Volunteer
We would love to get people involved in the house and garden tours, building the inventory, creating plaques, and the host of other fun things we are doing. Have a few hours to spare and want to help? Let us know!
Civic involvement
Decisions about the historic homes are made regularly by the Historic Preservation Committee and the Planning Board. We will let people know if there are items of interest to us. It would be great to have people attend and voice their opinion.
Heads up
One challenge with older homes is that developers often buy them privately, leaving the public no chance to bid and save them. If you're selling, please consider listing your home publicly—or let us know if you hear of someone planning to sell.
get a plaque
Adding a historic marker to your house helps celebrate and share the city’s rich history. We offer these plaques on a discounted basis for any old home on the island. They are simple, noting the year the house was built. If you're interested, let us know!
Donate
We’re a 501(c)(3) non-profit, so your donation is tax-deductible and goes entirely toward preserving Ocean City’s history. None of our board members or volunteers take a paycheck—many even chip in! So why not join the fun? Give a little (or a lot!) to help keep OCNJ’s spirit and those beachside memories alive for future generations.
sign up/follow
We have a Facebook page. Other social media pages to follow. If you could like and follow, that would be great. It helps spread the word. Also if you could join our mailing list, that will help us keep you informed.
