Love History? Learn Brick Township's Past At Historic Preservation Tour

BRICK, NJ — If you're a history buff and are curious about the beginnings of the Jersey Shore, you can learn more about Brick Township at the 6th Annual Tour of Historic Sites of Brick, hosted by the Brick Township Historic Preservation Commission.

The tour will take participants to historic homes in Brick and other places of interest in the township, such as Gravelly Graveyard, also known as the Woolley Cemetery, which has interments from the 1700s through the early 1900s, including several patriots.

Brick Township, which celebrated the 175 anniversary of its incorporation earlier in 2025, is named for Joseph Brick, who established the Bergen Iron Works in the township in 1833.

The three-hour tour is set for Saturday, Oct. 11 and begins at 10 a.m. at Havens Farm/Cultural Arts Center on Herbertsville Road. A list of historic places in Brick is online. They won't all be included in the tour, however.

The tour is free. Donations are welcomed and go to the upkeep of the historic Hulse House, which you can read more about here.

Read more of the timeline of Brick Township on the historic preservation commission's webpage on the Brick Township website.

The Brick Township Historical Society has additional information as well.
