Sweep that soot!

In a city once ravaged by fire, one of the duties of the building inspector in Cape May during the 1890s was to see to it that every owner or occupant of a house had their chimney swept during the month of May each and every year, under penalty of a $5 to $50 fine.

BEHIND THE WALLS UNDER TROLLEY THE CRAWLS TOUR

Saturdays: 11:30am; Tuesdays & Thursdays: 12:45pm

Finally! A tour for those who want to know, “How’d they DO that?” Cape May has one of the largest concentrations of 19th century wood frame structures (over 600) in the United States. Look at them from a builder’s perspective (remembering they did all this without nailguns and a saw was their idea of a cordless tool). Learn how things really came together and worked on this one-hour guided trolley tour.

Adults $15; Children (ages 3-12) $9 For more information, call 609-884-5404 or 800-275-4278 Tours begin and end at the Washington Street Mall Information Booth

Wednesdays: 11am • Sept. 10, Sept. 24-Oct. 8

View homes that span the years from the 1600s though the 21st century and hear about the residents and their professions. Along the way, see if you can find the answer to one of Cape May’s greatest mysteries – why Dr. Physick built his mansion in this “unfashionable” part of Cape May. Starts at the Physick Estate, 1048 Washington St.

$10 adults, $7 children (ages 3-12)

Carriage House Gallery Exhibit

Carriage House Gallery at the Emlen Physick Estate, 1048 Washington St.

The fires that shaped Cape May From the beginning, fire has shaped Cape May more than any other force, natural or manmade. Even today, fire continues to be the bane of Cape May, a National Historic Landmark filled with hundreds of restored Victorian buildings. Exhibit curator Ben Miller, author of Exit Zero’s best-selling book, The First Resort, takes visitors on a journey through Cape May’s fiery past in this must-see exhibit that includes an authentic 1924 Model T fire truck. Sponsored by Sturdy Savings Bank

Open Daily through Oct. 14 See calendar for times • FREE ADMISSION For more information, call 609-884-5404 or 800-275-4278 T or visit www.capemaymac.org PRESENTED BY THE MID-ATLANTIC CENTER FOR THE ARTS & HUMANITIES (MAC) 72

Celebrating

Holidays

THE OCEAN VICTORIAN • 25 OCEAN ST., CAPE MAY

Local and regional designers exhibit their creativity and talent in presenting a dozen design spaces, each portraying a favorite holiday. This classic Mansard-style home was built soon after the great fire of 1879. It was the last structure to fall to that horrendous blaze that swept through what is now the town’s Historic District, and the current house was built on the charred timbers of its predecessor. The 5,000 square foot home haseen s ignifi s cant upgrades to the interior.

What’s for dinner? Victorians valued good cooking and food. However, there were great differences between what the rich and poorer people ate. The unemployed, and others with little money, survived on little more than potato parings, rotten vegetable refuse and scraps. Those on a slightly higher wage could occasionally purchase some bacon, cheese or sausage and workers in better-paid jobs had more choice and more wholesome food.

Meal time provided the opportunity for the rich to display their wealth... through rich foods, use of fine cutlery, china and servants. French cuisine was in fashion, with as many as 20 dishes served at the same time in two great courses. Tastes changed during the period and, by the 1860s, dishes were being placed on the sideboard and then served, one after another, by footmen. This was known as serving a meal ‘a la russe.’
