The Doo Wop Preservation League runs this small museum that tells the story of Wildwood's 1950s heyday. Its 'neon-sign garden' shows off relics from no-longer-standing buildings. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights in summer, a trolley tour (adult/child $13/7) departs from here, passing the most colorful landmarks.
