Emlen Physick Estate
The house is beautifully staged and it’s clear that the preservationists have maintained the estate with great integrity. We learned a lot, not just about the house and the family, but also about Cape May in general. It’s fascinating to me that the beauty that we take for granted in Cape May was only one legislative decision away from possibly being bulldozed and commercialized.

Welcome to Cape May Trolley Tour
“This was a great way to get an overview of Cape May By the end of the tour, we had a great idea of the layout of Cape May, saw a lot of Cape May, got some of its history, and some points of interest to explore on our own. I could easily have enjoyed a longer tour, it went by quickly.”

COLONIAL HOUSE
A hidden treasure in the heart of Cape May The Colonial House (c.11730) was originally a tavern and the family home of Revolutionary War Patriot Memucan Hughes. The front room features a tavern room. Other rooms open to the public in this unsung sur vivor from Cape Island’s very beginning depict a colonial era cooking/eating room. A fine example of vernacular architecture and one of only a few remaining colonial homes open to the public in Cape May County. Colonial gardens designed by the Garden Club of Cape May surround the house.
Open Season: June 15th through September 15th

Cape May Convention Hall, 714 Beach Ave. Presented by Dr. Craig L. Symonds
In this 12th year, Cape May MAC welcomes Dr. Craig L. Symonds to Cape May Convention Hall to present “The War Comes Home to America: U-boats off the Mid-Atlantic.” German U-boats made the mid-Atlantic one of the most dangerous places on earth in the first few months of 1942. The carnage they inflicted was out of proportion to their numbers and ships went down all along the coast from New York to Florida. How the United States dealt with this menace is one of the great stories of naval and U.S. history. Dr. Symonds taught history at the U.S. Naval Academy for 30 years and has earned numerous awards for his teaching and research. He is the author of 17 books translated into six languages and holds the Naval Historical Foundation Dudley Knox medal for lifetime achievement and the Pritzker Military Museum and Library Pritzker Prize for Lifetime Achievement in Military Writing. Tickets are limited. Advance reservations strongly recommended.
