Under the Boardwalk & On the Beach

The Coney Island History Project announces a series of themed history weekends to pique your interest and jog your memory.

This weekend's theme is Under the Boardwalk and On the
Beach... Favorite memories, Outings with family & friends,
first trip to Coney Island--even if it's today--because
memories are in the making.   Throughout the summer visitors are invited to record their memories for our Oral History Archive. Stop by for an interview with historian Charles Denson, Amanda Deutch or Natalie Milbrodt.

Selected interviews will be made available on our website as part of our Coney Island Voices exhibit, a record of visitors and their stories during the 2011 season. Interviews are available at the History Project's FREE public exhibition center on W 12th Street under the Wonder Wheel. The center is open on Saturday and Sunday, 12- 6pm, from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, as well as by appointment. You may schedule an in-person or telephone interview in advance by emailing info@coneyislandhistory.org.
