Shadow Lawn

Shadow Lawn, located in Long Branch, NJ, is a historic estate that holds significant importance to the history of this coastal town.

Today, it stands as a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of the era through its grand architecture and well-preserved interiors.

Originally designed by prominent architect, J. B.

Today, visitors can learn about this fascinating history through guided tours or by attending one of the many events held on the grounds, such as concerts and art exhibits. A visit to Shadow Lawn is a must for anyone looking to step back in time and experience the grandeur of the Gilded Age.
