Our assumptions were correct, and a big congratulations to the iconic Stone Pony in Asbury Park for becoming the 39th addition to the New Jersey Historic Wooden Village Keepsake collection. These wood-on-art keepsakes are limited edition productions made by the world-famous Cat’s Meow Village in Wooster, Ohio.

The Stone Pony Keepsake Artist Rendering Looks GREAT!

Here’s how our artist rendering came out……. think it captures the essence of this iconic Jersey music venue? The front is a collection of historic performances and moments and the back will include the overall history of the Asbury Park icon. If successful, more Asbury Park collectible keepsakes may be in the works for the beloved “Asbury on the Shore!”

The Historical Stone Pony Keepsake Marquees

The Mr. Local History non-profit is promoting Asbury Park history and the Stone Pony venue via our MLH keepsake project, and we hope the community will show strong interest in the area’s history. The idea was made possible as the site was nominated to the 501c3 non-profit Mr. Local History Project by Brooks Betz, a Trustee and one of our researchers who’s also a board member. The keepsakes bring awareness to historical icons across New Jersey. Betz hopes this venue will be nominated to the State and National Registries of Historic Places (a complicated process). The group is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization that relies on fundraisers like this to expand our history programs. By growing your collection, you’re directly supporting our efforts to recommend new historical icons to the collection.
