**NEW** VAN TOUR TICKETS!

The trolley tours have sold out; however, due to overwhelming demand, we have added VAN tours for Saturday, July 16. There will be two vans per tour, so please be sure you purchase tickets for the same van tour if you have a group that wishes to sit together. Online ticket sales have ended. There are a few remaining van tickets, which will be available at 9:00am on Saturday, July 16, outside the Community Center. First-come, first-served. These tickets will sell out. Please do not wait to buy your tickets.

We also have self-guided tour books for sale at the Community Center during Commemoration events. The book includes all the stops that will be on the trolley and van tours. (There is no wait list for either the trolley or van tours.)


The Historic Matawan Shark Attacks of 1916 Centennial Commemoration Events
This historical and heroic event has its centennial anniversary this year to be commemorated during the week of July 9 through July 17, 2016. The fateful 1916 Jersey Shore shark attacks sent a shockwave throughout the world and reconfigured the sentiments of mankind’s fear of the open water. However, the event also conveyed the heroism of those who placed themselves in harm’s way to perform selfless acts of compassion for others.

ABOUT THE TROLLEY & VAN TOURS:

The commemoration events will feature trolley and van tours that include 21 location stops relevant to the shark attacks. They leave from the Matawan Community Center (201 Broad Street) and are preceded by a short orientation session. Each tour lasts approximately one hour and thirty minutes.
More information about all of the Commemoration Events may be found on our website at https://matawanhistoricalsociety.org/shark-attack-anniversary/.
Note: The trolleys and vans are not guaranteed to have air conditioning.

The tours will be held rain or shine!
