This is a great place to take school age children on a day when it is not raining, but not nice enough for the beach! They'll get a kick out of touring the homes, and the staff dressed in period costumes, demonstrating the daily activities of people living in the area 100-200 some odd years ago. A full morning or...

When in Cape May during the summer, it make sense to go on the Historic Cold Spring Village website, and choose a special event weekend--this way you can be assured to see not only the historic houses on the site, but also antiques or crafts, etc. We particularly like going in to the buildings that are manned by costumed interpreters...

After over a decade of visiting Cape May we decided to drop by Cold Spring Village for a visit, and what a treat! The displays of craftsmanship & history, the **EXCELLENT* presentations by the various craftspersons and "re-enactors", coupled with what turned out to be a particularly nice day weather-wise, made this a memorable visit - so much so, in...

We were so glad to visit this attraction. It was a great addtion to our Wildwood trip. My daughter had looked it up online before we went and it was better than I expected. All the buildings were very interesting down to the people dressed in costume who told us the history and how people lived back then. They demonstrated... More

My wife & I were there for the Revolutioary Weekend featuring the encampment & a fascinating presentation on the history of "Old Glory". It couldn't have been better. The Re-enacters were eager to relate their stories, the craftsmen ( & women ) were happy to demonstrate their skills, and the village was in beautiful condition. We thought we would spend... More

it was a fun way to learn a little bit of cape may history. the ice cream was yummy and the horse drawn carriage ride was a delight. watch out for younger kids running the houses within the village. they made us feel like we were a bother when asking them about their trades! but over all the older generation...
