Long Branch Historical Museum: Location Correction

There is no "Long Branch Historical Museum of the State New Jersey" in Manasquan. The correct institution is:

  • Address: 60 Ocean Avenue, Long Branch, NJ 07740
  • Building: Historic Macgregor-Tallman House (c. 1680)
  • Operated by: Long Branch Historical Association

Manasquan Context

  • Manasquan, NJ: Separate borough ~8 miles south of Long Branch
  • Manasquan history: Manasquan Historical Society (Manasquan Inlet, Coast Guard Station)
  • Confusion source: Both are Monmouth County coastal towns with maritime heritage
