Here's a little-known secret: The author of famous novel The Red Badge of Courage, Stephen Crane, was raised in Asbury Park. His childhood home, on Fourth Avenue is the author's only former residence still in existence. Stephen Crane House was saved from the wrecking ball in 1995 and is undergoing a long, arduous process of restoration slated to take many years. Nonetheless, the home is occasionally open to the public.
