Tucked into the far end of the Community Center at 17th and Simpson, past the gym and the pool, the museum covers the town from its 1879 founding by four Methodist ministers through the recent past. The Sindia gallery tells the story of the four-masted ship that ran aground off the 17th Street beach in 1901 with scale models and salvaged artifacts; the Grace Kelly exhibit follows the actress's childhood summers here and her return visits as Princess of Monaco. Other rooms cover the Boardwalk since 1887, the lost movie theaters, a century of lifeguards and a Victorian parlor. Admission is free, donations welcome, and volunteers lead tours.
