The Endicott Reardon Family Museum presents a unique opportunity to learn about life in the early to mid 20th century in the regions of Sea Isle City and Ocean View, New Jersey. For over 100 years The Endicott and Reardon families lived in this area and lovingly preserved, documented and archived aspects of their lives and life in the region. This unique collection is now available to the public through the museum's late founder, local resident and historian Harriett Reardon Bailey. The museum officially opened in October, 2016 and is located on the land where the Reardons originally settled in Upper Township, New Jersey.
