The park was owned and operated by Frank J. Tomaino, Sr., a prominent local businessman who also owned Suburban Oil Supply in Deal and was a member of the famous 1932 Long Branch High School football team. Under his direction, the park featured vivid, large-scale dioramas and structures, including King Arthur’s Court, a "Party Cake" structure, Mistress Mary’s Garden, The Garden of Allah, and a Cinderella’s Pumpkin Coach perfect for photo opportunities.

Unlike modern thrill parks, Storyland Village relied on the charm of its handcrafted figures and the post-war trend of "roadside fairytale gardens" to attract families driving to the shore. However, largely due to rising insurance costs, skyrocketing land values, and the changing entertainment habits of the 1960s, the park closed permanently around 1962. The site sat largely dormant for over a decade until the ground was broken in 1975 for the Seaview Square Mall, which opened in 1977, forever burying the fairytale village under retail space.

Printed on thick matte paper sourced from Japan — 189 g/m², 0.26 mm — with 94% opacity and 104% ISO brightness for crisp detail on the diorama photography. The 21 × 30 cm option prints at A4, ready to frame or pin above a desk.

The graphic is printed direct to garment, one shirt at a time, after you order it.

Printed to order. Nothing sits in a warehouse. Your shirt is printed after you buy it and ships directly from the print facility, not from the Jersey Shore. Expect a few days of production before it ships, then normal transit time. Shipping is calculated at checkout, and it is free on any 3 tees or any order over $99.
