On this day 56 years ago, Lucy decided it was time for a change of scenery. So, she took a stroll two blocks down Atlantic Avenue to the spot she calls home today. What sounds like a short walk was actually one of the most remarkable moves in New Jersey history. We'd say it was quite a day! 🚗🐘
📣 IMPORTANT UPDATE! Due to the forecast for severe weather on Saturday, Lucy's 145th birthday celebration has been postponed until Saturday, August 1st.
“Our primary concern is always about the safety of our staff, volunteers, and guests. With the forecast calling for heavy downpours, severe thunderstorms, and damaging winds, plus an air quality warning, we had no choice but to postpone and reschedule,” said Lucy Board President, Jason Tell.
