    Emlen Physick Estate - History on Cape May

    Emlen Physick Estate

    Coined as America's first seaside resort, Cape May became the country's summer resort destination…read morebecause of its effortless transport by water from Philadelphia to the Atlantic Ocean. Early visitors of Cape May included Henry Clay, Ulysses Grant, and possibly Abraham Lincoln in 1849. Victorian-style architecture was the most common style used from the 1860s to 1900s, during Cape May's reconstruction. Perhaps one of the best-known Victorian houses is the Emlen Physick House. As Cape May's only Victorian house museum, visitors can tour inside, as it was part of our combo trolley ticket. Named for Doctor Emlen Physick, he completed his medical training but did not practice medicine and lived off of his generation's wealth. Designed in 1876 by famed architect Frank Furness, the mansion is an excellent example of a stick-style house. It's characterized by geometric shapes and partially exposed timbers that hint at the house's support structure. An eighteen-room fully furnished features with period-accurate Victorian goods and offers a glimpse of what life was like in the late 1800s. The tour guide, Chris,, was fantastic & really went through every possible detail on the family & the history. Well worth the extra few dollars!

    I discovered the Brew Fest event on the Cape May TV Channel. The event featured different beer,…read morewine, and alcohol vendors, so I was glad it wasn't all beer. To purchase alcohol, you needed to present your id and get a wristband which I thought was a good idea. However, I had to stand in a long line to purchase drink tickets even though I wasn't really sure what I was going to drink. I didn't find this to be a good system, and others around me in line seemed to agree. Additionally, there were several food trucks featuring BBQ, burgers, and hotdogs as well as sweets. Places to sit were limited, so it may be helpful to bring chairs or a blanket. There was also a variety of merchandise vendors along with two different live bands, neither of which appealed to me but seemed popular. Parking is limited, so we had to park about 4-5 blocks away.

    Cape May MAC

    Situated at the southern tip of New Jersey, Cape May is a gem of American history and architecture…read more This picturesque town, renowned for its charming streets and well-preserved buildings, provides a glimpse into a bygone era, which led to its designation as a National Historic Landmark in 1976. Cape May's historic district boasts an impressive collection of over 600 frame buildings from the late 18th and 19th centuries. My partner and I were fortunate to hop on one of Cape May MAC's red trolleys, where we enjoyed a guided tour for 2 hours in an easy and comfortable manner. The trolley itself was clean and probably sat with about 30 passengers, although we were only 14. The seats were spacious and comfortable. Our knowledgeable guide, Chris, provided an incredibly informative and engaging experience, while the driver, Mike, shared insights about the Victorian heritage, seashore, and maritime history. We would recommend sitting on the right side of the trolley, as a majority of the sites seemed to be on that side. We highly recommend this experience for first-time visitors.

    We decided to devote one day to being 'touristy' in CM & spent a Sunday in July checking out all…read morethe local places. This trolley tour did not disappoint at all! The guide was extremely knowledgeable & kudos to the driver, CM is rich in history & there were plenty of great stories told. We took the basic show us all around CM tour & tell us about the homes & characters that lived here many moons ago. The homes are really gorgeous to look at & since this was only day 2 of our vaca we could appreciate it all the more later on during the week while walking. A thoroughly enjoyable way to learn the history of CM, highly recommend & reasonable price per ticket.
