Ticket
These admission tickets once granted passage across the Jensen Beach Bridge, a vital link connecting Stuart's residents and visitors to the barrier island that shaped our community's growth and character.
Built to open up Jensen Beach for development and tourism, the bridge represented Stuart's expanding reach during the early-to-mid 20th century, when infrastructure improvements helped transform our small railroad town into a thriving coastal destination. Today, these humble tickets remind us of a time when crossing to the beach was an event, a small toll that connected islanders to the broader life of Martin County.
