We did the Historic District Trolley Tour for the first time since we were little (probably

around 20 years ago). We were one other couple due to the cold weather

(not many people there in the offseason), but our guide was fantastic and informative.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, our driver, and our guide. Everyone

was super friendly!”

Emlen Physick Estate

Liz and I enjoyed a wonderful tour yesterday at the Emlen Physical Estate

in Cape May, New Jersey. Our tour guide Rebecca was absolutely

great! She was warm, knowledgeable, and friendly. The architect

Frank Furness created a beautiful home for this family and community.

His touches are also all through the house in most of the furnishings

pictured. The two stained glass pieces in the doors were created

by Henry Holiday. If you are in the area, this tour is a must.!”

We visited over MLK weekend and tacked the visit to the house onto our history

of this home is fascinating. The docent provided a wealth of interesting information

and so much of the house remains original. Everyone should take the time to visit

Cape May Lighthouse

The Cape May Lighthouse stands out as a remarkable historic site. Although

we couldn’t climb it because of mobility issues, the area around the lighthouse

impressed us. The grounds are well cared for and feature informative

plaques, picnic spots, and nearby nature trails. At its base, you’ll find a museum

and gift shop with exhibits about Cape May’s maritime past. Combining

history, beautiful scenery, and educational experiences, the site has something

to offer visitors of every age.”

The Story of Black History Month

Black History Month has become a vital part of the American calendar — but its story

is far richer and more complex than many realize. Ted Bryan explores the origins of

the observance, the key figures who brought it to life, and the reasons it remains

important today. A concise and insightful introduction to the “who, what, when,

and why” behind this annual celebration.

Wednesday, Feb. 18

Black Classical Composers

There have been Black composers of classical music as far back as the mid-eighteenth

century, but many have been forgotten. The classical music world is beginning

to address the systemic racism and cultural biases in its history. Dr. Brenda

Leonard celebrates the artistry of eight composers of color whose work is coming

back into the mainstream.

Wednesday, Mar. 4

Unsung Heroes of the American Revolution

— Let’s Hear It for the Ladies

It’s remarkable how many women were involved in the Revolutionary War and

how little is known about their service. Join Mary Stewart as she uncovers the

courage and contributions of these forgotten patriots

Wednesday, Mar. 18

Margaret’s Diary During a Revolution

Written and performed by Gayle Stahlhuth based on the diary Margaret Morris

kept when tensions between Hessians and Patriots were escalating near Trenton in

December 1776. As many of her neighbors fled Burlington, she decided to stay, not

knowing her fate.

FREE EXHIBIT

Revolutionary Cape May

While Cape May, N.J. was remote and distant from the American

Revolutionary War on land, it occupied a strategic location at the tip

of the Cape. It was home to skilled pilots who knew the shoals of

the ocean and bay, was already well involved in the shipping trade,

offered safe anchorage for ships on their way to and from

Philadelphia, and could serve as a lookout on the activities of the

British Navy — Philadelphia’s early warning system.

Discover Cape May’s little-known naval role in the American War of

Independence and the ingenuity of its citizens in the battle on local

waterways, fighting to forge a new nation.

Part of Cape May MAC’s 2026 ‘First and Only’

Exhibit Series — more to come.

Visit us at the Cape May

Welcome Center

609 Lafayette Street, Cape May, N.J.

Stop by to learn about our tours, exhibits, and events — and

explore our rotating displays that celebrate Cape May’s unique

history and culture. Refer to calendar for hours of operation.

FREE FAMILY FUN!

Cape May MAC has a couple of ways to get the family together for some

fresh air and FREE family fun while getting a taste of some of the town’s

unique historical treasures!

Physick Estate Scavenger Hunt

Have an adventure at the 1879 Emlen Physick Estate! Use our map to explore the

grounds and find the answers to questions about the Physick family and life in Victorian

times on this educational scavenger hunt. Includes map and clues. Also available

in Spanish.

Cape May Family Treasure Hunt

Confiscate the electronic devices and get the whole family together for a fun time!

Architecture is lots of fun, especially when you look at it from a kid’s perspective and

set out in search of witches’ hats and fish scales. This packet includes a clues sheet and

map that will take you on a self-guided discovery tour, set to your own pace (answer

sheet also included). (Only one packet is needed per family). Co-sponsored by Cape

May MAC and Preservation New Jersey.

Both activities are available daily FREE (donations accepted), at the Washington

Street Mall Information Booth, the Hill House office or the Carriage House Visitors

Center at the Physick Estate, 1048 Washington St. (see Calendar for times)

Everyone likes to keep a clean

recycling container in their kitchen

BUT REMEMBER:

If you use a plastic bag for recyclables, when placing the

recyclables in your curbside container for collection,

EMPTY the bag into the Container and

put the plastic bag in the TRASH.

Bagged Recyclables are a serious problem for

curbside recycling collections.
