SUMMARY:Camp Boardwalk: AC During World War II • Historical Society of Hammonton
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a morning of local history and community!\nFriday\, March 20\, 2026\nNoyes Arts Garage of Stockton University\, 2200 Fairmount Ave.\, Atlantic City\, NJFree – RSVP required \nSchedule:11 AM – Exhibit tour and presentation \nWe’re pleased to invite the public to this special off-site program featuring a private tour and presentation of Camp Boardwalk: Atlantic City During World War II\, hosted by historian Dr. Patricia Chappine at the Noyes Arts Garage of Stockton University in Atlantic City. \nThis experience offers a behind-the-scenes look at one of New Jersey’s most compelling and underexplored World War II stories\, guided by the exhibit’s curator\, historian Dr. Patricia Chappine\, who is also currently working with the Historical Society of Hammonton as part of its community history project. \nCamp Boardwalk explores Atlantic City’s dramatic transformation during World War II\, when the city became a major hub for military training\, medical care\, and home-front service\, earning it the nickname “Camp Boardwalk.” Major hotels were repurposed into training and redistribution centers\, and the Thomas M. England General Hospital was established to care for wounded and recovering soldiers returning from overseas. \nThe exhibition also highlights the vital contributions of local residents\, particularly women and African American men and women\, whose service as nurses\, Red Cross volunteers\, USO hostesses\, members of the Women’s Army Corps and Navy WAVES\, and in both military and civilian defense roles brings forward voices often underrepresented in traditional wartime narratives. \nAfter the program\, attendees are encouraged to explore the Noyes Arts Garage\, which houses working artist studios\, shops\, and the African American Heritage Museum of Southern New Jersey. Free parking will be provided for attendees\, courtesy of the Noyes Museum\, offering convenient access. \nClick here to RSVP:https://www.historicalsocietyofhammonton.org/hhs-rsvp \nCome connect\, learn\, and celebrate history with us!
