Doors of the Tent Homes of Ocean Grove

Ocean Grove is a section of Neptune Township founded in 1869 by a group of Methodist ministers. They wanted to establish a seaside location for a holiness movement following the Civil War. Originally 600 Tents were erected around the famous Great Auditorium so people could worship and attend services. Today, just 114 Tents remain. Each Tent is built on a wooden platform with a canvas section and is attached to a permanent wooden structure that usually houses a kitchen and bathroom. In the front there is a narrow porch, often covered by an awning. Although living in a Tent for three or four months of the year offers little privacy from neighbors at times, the Tenters love their community and return year after year.
