Lucy The Elephant, known as The World's Greatest Elephant, proudly stands along the beach in Josephine Harron Park in Margate, New Jersey. This six-story architectural marvel is a designated National Historic Landmark, curated by the Save Lucy Committee, Inc. Visitors can enjoy a fenced and contained park area, ideal for easy child supervision, and picnic tables for outdoor dining.
Originally built in 1881 as the Elephant Bazaar by James Lafferty of Philadelphia, it was later renamed Lucy the Elephant in 1902 by Sophia Gertzen, who transformed it into a tavern. In 1970, the Gertzens generously donated Lucy to the Save Lucy Committee, Inc., leading to her relocation and subsequent restoration. The Save Lucy Committee, Inc. actively works towards preserving and supporting this iconic attraction.
