THE DOCTOR IS IN:

Each year, our tour of the Physick House Museum highlights a particular aspect of Victorian life and culture in Cape May. Despite never practicing medicine, Dr. Emlen Physick meaningfully affected the local medical community. This year on our tour, learn about the doctor and his influence around town, as well as common health practices around the turn of the 20th century.
