OCEAN TOWNSHIP — Just in time for the
high-stakes months of the presidential
campaign, a new exhibit opens Sunday,
Sept. 9, in the Our Town Gallery of the
Woolley House.
“Election Memorabilia: The Stuff of American
Campaigning” showcases an impressive
collection of political campaign buttons,
banners, signs, photos and news clippings.

The artifacts — both Republican and
Democratic — include material from the
museum’s own collection (a gift from the
Mullaney family) and loaned items from local
collectors.

HISTORICAL MUSEUM
It’s no surprise that the stuff of American
political campaigning is colorful. Consider
the characters it represents.
From our first president to our current,
slogans, buttons, ads and bumper stickers vie to tell a candidate’s
story and win votes.
