A beautiful narrow path runs between the edege of Ocean Grove's tent city and the Great Auditorium. In 1869 a group of Methodist Ministers established a Christen camp meeting place in the area called Ocean Grove, New Jersey. A Great Auditorium seating 6,250 people was built in 1894 for worship and wholesome entertainment. Small plots of land were leased for 99 years by the asociation where tents were raised every summer for full time living and removed before every winter. The tradition of seasonal tent living exists to this day in Ocean Grove.
