- Category: Letters to the Editor
Just in time for summer, Monmouth County is rethinking how it goes about enticing visitors to the county’s unique vacation destinations.
Ads on radio and daily newspapers outside our county are a must. But in addition to the traditional means of advertising, the Monmouth County Department of Public Information and Tourism is using of social media to connect with potential visitors.
By Memorial Day, county Tourism representatives armed with smart phones will be using Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and Pinterest to drive information about the county’s wonderful destinations and generate feedback from people about where they have been and what they liked.
This summer we will have a mobile web page for Tourism to help visitors learn about Monmouth County using their mobile phones.
Whether it’s a two-week stay, a getaway weekend or just a day trip, visitors will be able to get the information they need.

MIDDLETOWN, NJ - On Thursday, April 12, the Cemetery Sub-Committee of the Middletown Landmarks Committee met at the Middletown Township Public Library to discuss the restoration of the Applegate Cemetery located on Cedar Avenue and Burlington Avenue in Leonardo, and the Gulden Cemetery located on the border of Middletown and Holmdel near the Garden State Parkway, exit 114.
The meeting was attended by members of the Leonardo Citizens Committee, Karen Mitschele, Chairman of the Sub-Committee and the Girl Scout Troop 1242 Cadets, and members of the Gulden family, Fred and Daryl Gulden, whose family has lived in the Middletown area since 1642.
For the Applegate Cemetery the project will involve cleaning up the brush and removing trees. The tree removal will be done by the Boylen and Hafnagel Tree Companies of Leonardo. The gravestones in the Applegate Cemetery moved over the years, so they will have to be restored to their correct places in the cemetery, as well as having the names on the stones inscribed again. The Girl Scout Troop 1242 Cadets Sonia, Natasha and Emily will do the research for the gravestones of the Applegate Cemetery.
The project for the Gulden Cemetery will also involve the clean up of brush for its restoration.
