My review on TripAdvisor:
The Seaside Heights Historical Society at 1400 Boardwalk in Seaside Heights, NJ
The Carousel Pavilion and Museum sign
The new Seaside Heights Historical Society Museum features this recently restored carousel and many small displays surrounding the walls of the building. This will grow in the future.

The inside of has a couple of small displays which will be expanded on in the future. Dr. Moreland’s collection of carousel horses were on display in two cases around the building.

On display also above this display were vintage videos of days at the Seaside Heights Beach. These videos show people enjoying themselves at the shore.
The other display case of carousel horses
There was also a display on panels from the carousel that could not be repaired but were so beautiful that they were mounted to see the before and after pictures.

The plaque dedicated to Dr. Floyd L. Moreland
When I was talking with one of the volunteers who was assisting with the carousel that evening, he told me there will be more displays of artifacts from this beach community in the future. So there is more to look forward to in the coming year.
The carousel before the start of the ride
For right now this museum has a wonderful display of carousel horses and a short history of the town. You can also take a three minute ride on the beautiful carousel listening to the entertaining music. It will be an evening of returning to your childhood.
This is a great start to a wonderful museum.
