    Best onion rings I have ever ate! Good greasy American style food. Will visit every time I'm at the Jersey Shore!

This tunnel is a pretty tight drive as you pass through in your vehicle. As I said, this tunnel will stay within your memories as part of South Amboy, New Jersey. I lived in South Amboy, New Jersey and grew up in Central New Jersey, which many claim that central New Jersey does not exist. I disagree. Central New Jersey certainly is a place. It is not the more rural south Jersey nor claim Philadelphia as their city, nor is it directly in the shadow of Manhattan (though here is within the shadow of Staten Island, New York). This "hole-in-the-wall" is part of the landscape of my memories and I am better for having driven through it (definitely a better driver). Again, these little quirks will forever stay within you no matter if your life journey took you far from South Amboy, New Jersey. It is perhaps more poignant will you remember something as seemingly inconsequential as a narrow bridge as a part of a community that you fondly cherish. I remember this "hole-in-the-wall" and smile at its memory.

About 6 months later, based on my gf's suggestion we finally visited. I expected that this historical house would be full of historical furniture or reenactors or something old timey. However, this was not the case. The house actually serves as a small rotating museum exhibition space. During our visit, they had an exhibit on NJ Diners. There are only two floors of the house so it isn't a huge museum by any means. The exhibit took about an hour for me to read through everything and I though it was pretty interesting. I'm not sure how often they rotate the exhibits out but I'd certainly come back when they do. The house was unexpectedly air conditioned. The self guided tour was totally free. Also, the workers seemed really friendly. The only hitch is parking is confusing. The main driveway is a super narrow and scary road right off of River Road. Don't go in here. Parking is actually plentiful behind the house, which is in the lot of the visitor center on Rutgers Busch Campus. Some signs showing where to park would have been helpful.

Unfortunately during our last visit there were hardly any animals out which was odd. The area is historical with old farm houses and even staff dressed up in traditional farm clothes which is cute. There is lots of parking and across the parking lot you can find a large public bathroom area. Overall, it's a cute way place to take your kids to see some animals. Hopefully during our next visit more are out.

    I always wondered where a lot of the animals went. One day you would visit and there would be a…read morecouple of 500lb + pigs and a dozen sheep. The next week there would be barely any animals. Through a Facebook post from Longstreet Farms and The Associated Humane Society of Tinton Falls now I know. Recently a pig named Elmo was rescued from the slaughterhouse in Marlboro. He was sold off when he was no longer needed by the farm. This is not a place I will be bringing my kids to any longer. This is a living history museum. There is no reason for these animals to be bred/sold at any point. This is not a for profit farm. It is a place to learn about historical farming practices. I always thought it was a sanctuary for the animals there. If they cannot care for the animals then they should not be there. Plenty of other ways to teach the community about farms without using live animals for entertainment.

    World’s Largest Transistor - Bell Labs' Transistor Water Tower

This white, three-legged saucer looms over the entrance drive to the now shuttered research and development facility. The saucer water tower is actually modeled after the design of an early transistor, invented by three Lab researchers in 1947. John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and Willian Shockley later won the Nobel Prize in physics. The transistor breakthrough happened at another Bell Labs facility further north, but this 60- foot tall was erected here in 1961, when they broke ground for a Eero Saarinen-designed building. They were also the architect for St. Louis's Gateway Arch. This was taken from a website called https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/8180. You certainly can't miss it. To think, I was initially passing through. Once again, the things that we can find & review in Central Jersey. Silly Yelp review #44.

The history of this once great laboratory is gone. Just do a loop and check out the water-tower and if the city did not end up building houses and destroying the Holmdel Horn Antenna that was used to discover Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation in 1965 be sure to check out the national landmark that's about 3 miles away.
