“The museum is a treasure trove of neon signs, mid-century architecture, artifacts, furniture, and music from a bygone era in American history, and it’s perfectly at home in the Wildwoods," said John Donio, president of the Doo Wop Preservation League of The Wildwoods. "The museum is truly a time machine where you and your family can experience the best of 1950’s and 60’s Americana."
