Have you ever wanted to sip some white wine - guzzle a gallon of coffee like our beloved Teddy Roosevelt?

Bonus! You'll hear about when TR came to OG! That's right! Ocean Grove!

5? 7? Who cares!?!? There were at least 5 Presidents that came and summered in (even if it was a short stop - McKinley, I'm lookin at you!) Long Branch, New Jersey. Known back then as "the Branch" we'll take a look at the chapel's building, its famous congregants, and the future of the building thanks to historic preservation.

If you want to help out the Church of the Presidents, check out the Long Branch Historical Society's Facebook page and become a member!
