	In my view, this and the [[Hereford Inlet Lighthouse]] are the two Wildwood essentials. The museum is absolutely packed with artifacts and documents. In addition to its being a fascinating experience unto itself, a museum visit will also give you lots of other ideas about what to do while in town. ~[[User:PaulSank\|Paul]]		In my view, this and the [[Hereford Inlet Lighthouse]] are the two Wildwood essentials. The museum is absolutely packed with artifacts and documents. In addition to its being a fascinating experience unto itself, a museum visit will also give you lots of other ideas about what to do while in town. One of the other great historic buildings that I recommend in Wildwood is the [[Boardwalk Chapel (BWC)]]. ~[[User:PaulSank\|Paul]]

While serving with Wildwood fire department in 1959, he came across the stump of a tree (now known as the "W" tree) in the old city hall.

	Running down the origin of the tree, sparked a tsunami of information as he talked to local residents and researched and collected old records. One thing led to another, and in January of 1962, Boyer was appointed to the city’s newly established historical commission and became the first president of the Wildwood Historical Society.
