Digital Papers: Wildwood Resorts

      Here is a playful digital paper depicting the Wildwood Resorts of New Jersey from 1916. These resorts predated the 1950s resorts discussed in the video documentary below. Wildwood has been a popular tourist attraction for over 100 years.

   
      Both Wildwood ads are available here in black/white and sepia. I love the mermaid. Enjoy making something charming with either.


"This is an excerpt from NJN's documentary OUR VANISHING PAST. The documentary features more than 30 historic places throughout New Jersey, from crumbling ruins in forgotten towns to spectacular restorations in major cities. The documentary also looks at successful preservation efforts, from grassroots citizens groups to innovative developers."
