💎Ocean City's Sparkling New Jewel: From Bank to Museum! 🏦➡️🏛️

🌊 Our beloved Ocean City has unveiled its newest treasure - a museum that's been years in the making. 🏛️✨ 

🏗️ Construction Completed: What was once a 1910 bank and general store has been transformed into a time capsule of coastal memories.

🎀 The Grand Opening was Sept. 6 at noon. 🕛 The Ocean City Museum Society and Town of Ocean City cut the ribbon on this historic hotspot.

👩‍🦰 Christine Okerblom, our excited executive curator, says: "We're bringing history to life in a BIG way!"

🧭 What's Inside?

• Ground Floor: Dive into downtown OC history on one side, and feast your eyes on legendary restaurants and hotels on the other! 🍽️🏨

• Upstairs: A treasure trove of research awaits! 📚🔍 (By appointment only, history buffs!)

🔐 Don't Miss: The Walk-Through Safe! 💰 Step inside a piece of living history - complete with its original air system and warning bell. Talk about a breath of fresh air from the past! 💨

👵 Nancy Howard, former president and history champion, beams: "Ocean City isn't just sun and surf - it's a small town with a big heart!" ❤️🏖️

This cultural gem represents a true labor of love, bringing together diverse members of our community. From passionate local history buffs🕵️‍♀️ to generous donors with deep pockets 💰(and an even deeper love for our town ❤️), everyone pitched in to make this dream a reality. The museum stands as a testament to our city’s rich heritage and the collective spirit that defines Ocean City. 🌟🏖️

🗓️ Coming Soon:

• August: Sneak peek with one exhibit

• January 2025: Full museum extravaganza! 🎊

Exciting side note! Lizzie from Ocean City Vibes attended the grand opening 🎀 and caught the eye of Coast TV 📺 They featured her in a local news article! 🗞️⬇️

OC Tidal Trivia

🏨 One of Ocean City's Historic Gems: The Stephen Decatur Hotel 🌊

Built in 1930 at 12th Street and the Boardwalk, the Stephen Decatur Hotel was once Ocean City's premier destination. 🕰️

Beachside Buzz:

• Popular among Baltimore and Annapolis elites 🎩

• A social hotspot in the 1940s and '50s 🍸

• Elegant lobby with two large fireplaces 🔥

• Iconic four-column porch facing the Boardwalk 🏛️

The hotel stood proudly until 1977, when it was replaced by the Decatur House condominiums. 🏢

While the building is gone, its legacy lives on in Ocean City's rich history. Discover more about our town's past at the new Ocean City Museum! 🏛️
