Join us on a 4K tour of Lucy the Elephant, the world-famous landmark in Margate, NJ! This colossal wooden structure has been a symbol of the Jersey Shore for over a century, standing tall at six stories high. Built in 1881 by real estate developer James V. Lafferty, Lucy was originally designed to attract potential buyers to the area. Over the years, Lucy has served various purposes, including as a restaurant, a tavern, and even a summer home!

In this video, you'll get an up-close look at Lucy's intricate architecture, including her ornate tusks, windows, and howdah (the observation deck on her back). We'll take you inside Lucy, where you'll explore the interior rooms and learn about the fascinating history that has made her a beloved symbol of the Jersey Shore.

History of Lucy:
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.
