Camp Boardwalk:
Atlantic City during World War II
January 10 - March 29, 2026
Opening Reception: January 10, 2026 1:00 - 3:00 PM
During WWII, Atlantic City, NJ became an essential part of the war effort, earning it the nickname “Camp Boardwalk.” The Army converted major hotels into a military training and redistribution area and established the Thomas M. England General Hospital, a recovery and rehabilitation center for injured soldiers. The community mobilized its resources for Civilian Defense, calling on local men and women to be air raid wardens and airplane spotters. Women volunteered for the USO and the Red Cross, joined the military and worked as nurses. African American men and women served in the military, worked in the defense industry and volunteered on the home front. This exhibit showcases the wartime narrative of Atlantic City, connecting the stories of the men and women who trained, worked, recovered and volunteered there.
Curated by Dr. Patricia Chappine, in collaboration with the Atlantic City Free Public Library, Millville Army Air Field Museum, Sara & Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center, Atlantic County Historical Society, and the National Guard Militia Museum of New Jersey.
