JPL Productions | An Elephant at the Jersey Shore? #jerseyshore #roadsideattraction #Lucytheelephant @JPL1311 | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
Lucy the Elephant is the oldest surviving roadside attraction in America and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976. Built by James V. Lafferty, Lucy was constructed to promote land sales and attract tourists to the Margate area. Over the decades, Lucy faced several challenges, including hurricanes and the threat of demolition. However, through the efforts of dedicated local preservationists, she was saved and restored to her former glory. Today, Lucy is a testament to creative marketing and the enduring charm of quirky Americana.
