DIGITAL WALKING TOUR (Coming soon)
Walk the town and experience the history
For 2024, we will be putting a program together to allow you to walk the streets of Egg Harbor City and as you come across various key sites around town, we will teach you the significance of this point as well as show you how it looked in the past compared to today. We hope this helps people new and old connect the dots as our city has evolved.
