St. Patricks Day At Allaire State Park




1830's St. Patrick's Day Celebration
Sunday March 9 • 12 noon-3 p.m. • Admission Free •

Program at 1 p.m. & 2 p.m.

The 19th Century St. Patrick's Day Event at the Historic Village at Allaire examines the plight of the Irish Immigrant in the early 1800's.  If you are expecting corned beef and cabbage, pipers playing Danny Boy and Irish Step Dancers performing, this event may shock you.  It is the objective of Allaire Village, Inc. to present an historically accurate portrayal of the social climate of the period through this event.  While we know that James P. Allaire was intolerant of social prejudices, most likely as a result of the discrimination and persecution suffered by his Huguenot ancestors at the hands of the French Crown,  we do know such discrimination and prejudice did exist at the Howell Works Company with the classic case being that of John Roach.

Brielle

 Brielle

Brielle has quite a history which leads back as far as the 1600's Henry Hudson, a Dutch explorer, discovered this area in September of 1609 while sailing his ship the "Half Moon." The local Indians were quite surprised as he landed his ship in what is now Monmouth County.

Over the years Brielle has grown into a fine upscale residential community with many of its residents commuting to careers in New York. With charming vintage homes and large estate sized properties.

The main industry is still tied to the waterfront. The Brielle's marinas host more than 200 commercial and charter fishing boats.

Although there is no ocean frontage in Brielle, residents are only a quick drive or bike ride away from the beautiful beaches of Pt. Pleasant and Manasquan. Recreation lovers will enjoy the abundant fishing opportunities in Brielle, as well as its nationally renowned golf course.

Brielle offers its own elementary school Brielle Elementary servicing student's k-8 and as its neighboring town's students attend Manasquan High School, located just minutes from the town's border. Of course there are private school opportunities for residents and their children as well.

Bay Head

Bay Head A town of distinct individuality, Bay Head has been called by some "the crown jewel" of the strand of beaches that constitutes Barnegat Beach Island. The timeless beauty of this small country village by the sea is both elegant and casual, creating a mystique that has endured for generations. Since the late 1800's Bay Head has been the favorite vacation place for those who enjoy a certain kind of quiet, a relaxing yet friendly way of life, and a safe haven in which to pursue both land and sea activities.

Over 40 specialty stores and galleries provide a variety of unique goods and services of a type not usually found in average shopping malls. The shops themselves are special, housed as they are in buildings of interesting architecture, some of which are over 100 years old. Antiques, fine art, gifts, clothing and collectibles join with specialties like jewelry, books, plants and sporting equipment to offer the buyer and browser alike a wide variety of interesting shopping choices.

Dining in Bay Head can be a fun experience. The restaurants and food services range from gourmet take-out to award-winning cuisine, all in a generally casual atmosphere. Perhaps the most fun of all is sitting at the outdoor corner cafe and watching the world go by." If you want to own a distinctive bed and breakfast or oceanfront estate Bay Head NJ is the place to look. I want More Info Please e-mail me Bay Head Properties
