In the 90s, studies made by three universities (University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, and Kent University) determined that Wildwood had the largest collection of 50s and 60s American architecture (Doo Wop) in America. The Doo Wop Preservation League opened its museum in 1997 and aims to preserve both Doo Wop architecture and culture. The league provides tours on the Doo Wop Historic District, where 50s era resorts, diners, and neon abound and which has an online gift shop.
In the museum, visitors will find representative objects from the era, including signs and motel and hotel fixtures which showcase the period when Wildwoods was a performance stop for first-rate music acts.
