Amusement Park Entry in Keansburg, New Jersey

by John Margolies

Experience the vintage Jersey Shore atmosphere of the 1950s with this genuine photo from 1978 by architectural historian John Margolies. Characteristic of the photographer’s trademark clear-sky aesthetic, this picture shows the vintage entrance to the Keansburg Amusement Park in Keansburg, New Jersey.

It is a great example of classic typography in the context of a seaside area with the signs “EAT HERE,” “COLD SODA,” and “BOARDWALK ENTRANCE” and iconic amusement park rides such as the Swinger set against the summery backdrop. This particular photo is a part of Margolies’ well-known collection, Roadside America, which is preserved in the Library of Congress.
