This is the first time that I truly saw the value of home movies. How incredibly similar, yet so different the town looks. Seeing my old house on North Green as it was way back when, was very cool indeed. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this. I really enjoyed seeing it way back "In the day". Wish there were more clam diggers footage, but seeing downtown in all its glory made my heart sing
We at Tuckerton Historical Society have a 30 minute copy of this, with more Memorial Day and Baby Parade and less in places. The movie was made by Sylvester Loux, owner in 1939 of the Community Theater. Who else would have had a hand held video camera! Lincoln Mott partnered with Stockton audio visual (I believe) to make a voice over version pointing out many people by name and some description, and adding old time music tracks. We call it "Tuckerton Remembered" and sell it (DVD) for $15 (I think). We showed it one evening a few years ago to a nice crowd. I do believe this is a higher resolution copy. A few months ago a relative of Sylvester Loux came in to THS and we talked about the movies. There were more, but they were apparently lost.
this is awesome; the 10 year olds would be 90 yrs old today; my mother would have been one of the 17 year olds, but we had no connection to Tuckerton until 22 years later, in 1960

Very special, so much value to movies taken back then!
I love seeing the history of our great town😊
An amazing find. Great to see footage of Tuckerton as it was.

I would like to buy a copy, please let me know how to proceed
Do you have any video footage of the railroad?
@@daveydoodle86 We don't have any at this time. Should it be we get some, we will post it right away!
This is truly priceless
This is amazing.
My Grammy is in it twice :)
Thank you so much for sharing this, I wish there was more video in existence from all of southern ocean county
How different society was then . So so so much better. Look how clean everything was

Man in 15:09 Louis Resh. He was a very talented artist and a good Christian man.
At 3:09 is my grandfather Robert Crean Jr.
At 10:34 the young lady looking out the window really looks like my mother, Dot Smythe (Hall). She would have been in 9th grade ?
Wow how on earth were you still able to read that film?!

Kid at 9:15 invented the moonwalk
Who's the drunk guy crossing Rt.4 (9 now) @ 11:53 ?
2:49 stupidity was alive well back then too.
I remember that A&P real well.
