The Historical Society of Jersey Shore is a 501(c)3 corporation founded in 1962. The founders of the society were a group of historic and civic minded women who knew that the history of the town and surrounding area must be preserved. The Society purchased the Samuel B. Moss house in the heart of the business district on Main St. for a museum. The museum filled with many artifacts and photographs of a bygone era.
At this time we do not have regular hours. Please call to make an appointment for a tour.
We offer museum tours and walking tours of the Historic District, if you have a large group please let us know at least 2 weeks in advance.

We don’t have a lot of old pictures of Locust St. We do have maps dating from 1886 that show Locust St. and the buildings that were there at the time.

Do you have any information on the Fly Shop that used to be I think on 27 W. Central Ave. in Avis back in the 1980/90s? I think a Fred Reece owned it until about 1999. Did a Bob Peason (not sure of spelling – maybe it’s Pearson?) purchase the shop from Fred Reece maybe? Thanks for any information.

Mr. Reece moved his shop over to his home on Thompson Street in Jersey Shore around 1991. He operated out of a small shop on the lower floor. It is no longer there and the home was sold in 1999.
