1938 - Tuckerton, New Jersey town scenes 

This is the first time that I truly saw the value of home movies. How incredibly similar, yet so different the town looks. Seeing my old house on North Green as it was way back when, was very cool indeed. Thank you.

I love seeing the history of our great town😊

An amazing find. Great to see footage of Tuckerton as it was.

Very special, so much value to movies taken back then!

This is amazing.

We at Tuckerton Historical Society have a 30 minute copy of this, with more Memorial Day and Baby Parade and less in places. The movie was made by Sylvester Loux, owner in 1939 of the Community Theater. Who else would have had a hand held video camera! Lincoln Mott partnered with Stockton audio visual (I believe) to make a voice over version pointing out many people by name and some description, and adding old time music tracks. We call it "Tuckerton Remembered" and sell it (DVD) for $15 (I think). We showed it one evening a few years ago to a nice crowd. I do believe this is a higher resolution copy. A few months ago a relative of Sylvester Loux came in to THS and we talked about the movies. There were more, but they were apparently lost.

Thank you so much for this. I really enjoyed seeing it way back "In the day". Wish there were more clam diggers footage, but seeing downtown in all its glory made my heart sing

This is truly priceless

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much for sharing this, I wish there was more video in existence from all of southern ocean county

this is awesome; the 10 year olds would be 90 yrs old today; my mother would have been one of the 17 year olds, but we had no connection to Tuckerton until 22 years later, in 1960

At 3:09 is my grandfather Robert Crean Jr.

At 10:34 the young lady looking out the window really looks like my mother, Dot Smythe (Hall). She would have been in 9th grade ?

Who's the drunk guy crossing Rt.4 (9 now) @ 11:53 ?

Kid at 9:15 invented the moonwalk
