Atlantic City Visitors Guide 2007 - (Page 82) Energetic promoters and fanciful attractions – that’s what made Atlantic City famous, and you can glimpse our unusual past at the Atlantic City Historical Museum on Garden Pier at New Jersey Avenue. Atlantic City also has touching tributes to the country’s struggle for civil rights and to the New Jerseyans who were killed or are missing in action in the Korean War. The surrounding area of southern New Jersey has its own history to tell – the legends of the Jersey Devil, an old salts’ haven and a grand glass industry are all part of our past, and that history comes alive in several themed historical villages. The city of Cape May, at the southern tip of the state, is a living testament to Victorian life. There are plenty of ways to soak in the arts, too, with galleries showcasing everything from local artists to 19th and 20th Century American fine art, crafts and folk art.
