Educational Opportunities at the “Doo-Wop Experience” Museum

The Doo Wop Preservation League is planning an educational program for students in grades K through 12 at the new Doo Wop Experience historic museum in Wildwood By-the-Sea. When the program is implemented, student groups will be able to visit this new museum for a guided tour of Doo Wop period culture. Students of all ages will be given information about the special culture and lifestyle of the 1950’s and 1960’s Wildwoods. Doo-Wop period history, architectural design elements and post-war era culture will be showcased in the new building’s unique, educational exhibits. The Wildwoods had the largest collection of 50’s and 60’s architecture on the East coast. In fact, there are very few places in the entire country that can claim the architectural creativity of the Wildwoods motels and buildings and neon signs. Rather than decry the loss of some of these treasures, the Doo Wop Experience preserves their place in the resort’s history. The excitement created by the design of architecture and furniture, cars and music of the period will be explored in the museum through photographs, memorabilia, furniture, music, text and video. It has been 50 years since the peak of the Doo Wop period. We want to keep inspiring succeeding generations. Contact us info@doowopusa.org for more information about the new building, officially named the Doo Wop Experience, and the new educational program.
