    Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum - Beautifully restored lighthouse

    BLUF: A wonderful museum consisting of 18 acres, many buildings and even a river cruise, telling…read morethe history about the Chesapeake Bay. Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is one of those museums that I enjoy visiting every few years. Since they recently opened a new building I was excited to check it out. With limited time to explore, I stuck to the new building which has their admissions/ticket counter, various types of Chesapeake Bay boats, a well curated display case of ship models on display and a lovely gift shop. Oh, and let's not forget Sailor the Iron Dog! Two of my all time favorite exhibits at the museum are the display of oyster cans and the crab picking machine. I laugh every time I see the crab picking machine and I always marvel at all of the big oyster cans. Being able to go inside the Hooper Strait lighthouse is also fun. The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum has lovely views of the river from shore but those who want a better view can take a cruise or sail on one of various historic vessels. Another things that makes CBMM great is its plentiful parking and close proximity to downtown Saint Michaels.

    At $20 per person, Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum was a bit of a letdown…read more They currently have an exhibit entitled "Sailing to Freedom" and that was the main reason for our stop here, especially considering we have recently visited a different nautical museum which was similarly priced and fantastic. Unfortunately the exhibit was small and, if I'm being honest, boring. The grounds here are not very large and are composed mostly of old wooden boats, bells, and a lighthouse, which was by far the highlight of our visit. They claim that the grounds are dog friendly however there isn't much to see outside so I would not recommend bringing a dog. I wouldn't personally recommend bringing children either as it doesn't seem like they would have a good time here. There were five or six children present during our visit and they were literally just running in circles on the grass. I understand that our visit was during the off-season but it was a wasn't a very good use of time or money in my opinion.

The tour guide was fantastic & really went through every possible detail on the family & the history. Came with my friends on the first day of our CM vacation on a weekend. Pretty easy enough to purchase tickets ahead of time at the gift store. All in all a perfect way to spend a few hours learning about the local history! Highly recommend!!!!

    Whenever I'm traveling I do my best to look up if there are any museums or historical points of…read moreinterest I can check out. Even though Cape May is known mostly as a Jersey Shore resort community, there's a lot of eye candy in the form of Victorian architecture - including some historic estates. One of these is the Emlen Physick Estate, and since they offer tours of the house I thought it would be a great way to spend part of my afternoon. Located on Washington St slightly away from the main hustle and bustle of CM, the Emlen Physick Estate sits on a sizeable piece of land somewhat inward from the street. The property contains the main house, a carriage house which now holds the gift shop and a restaurant, and another building used for administration. The estate is run by Cape May MAC, who worked to restore the house back in the 70s. In addition to the standard estate tour, they also offer trolley tours and evening "haunted" tours on the property. The Estate was built for Dr. Emlen Physick, who came from a prominent family. I won't give away the details of the tour, but they did a really good job discussing the history of the property, Physick and his family, as well as all of the architecture and decor of the estate. Our tour guide did a great job with every aspect of the tour, including answering our questions. One thing I noticed was that the promo pictures here on Yelp show historical interpreters guiding the tour, but we didn't have that. Our guide was great, but a historical interpreter would have been a funner touch. The tour took about 45 minutes to an hour, and afterwards we were given free-reigns to explore the carriage house which had merch and a small self-guided tour area. Overall, I enjoyed my time at the Emlen Physick Estate; it's definitely worth taking the time to explore and a welcome contrast to the typical beach things to do in the area.

It did a really good job of being specific to the area while still setting a foundational backdrop of nationwide events. I was wildly impressed. The images and items used were great. I also enjoyed the rest of the museum, especially the collection and the painted screens exhibit! I'm from Massachusetts and have been to my fair share of revolutionary war museums or exhibits so I more sped through that section, but it also seems comprehensive.

This exhibit consists of furniture pieces from the years 1634-2000. There were many pieces that I wanted though they were vintage. The second floor had a few exhibits: Unfinished Revolution, Claire/McCardell and Collecting Maryland. The Claire/McCardell really caught my eye. The exhibit highlighted how she redefined women's fashion in America during the 1930s -1950s. My favorite exhibit was on the 1st floor. It was the Passion and Purpose: Voices of Maryland's Civil Rights Activists exhibit. The 1st floor was dedicated to all of the Black activism in Baltimore. I love learning about Black history and I learned so much about Baltimore's contributions to the Civil Rights Movement.

    Glass, yo, it's from Joy-zee!…read more This is a weird but cool arts campus in Millville, mainly about glass, but also housing a decent-size pottery guild, and a small building of textile/tribal arts. In addition to live glass blowing demonstrations, and special classes or make-and-take events for glass/pottery pieces, they have a glass museum with tons of history on glass in the USA. NJ had all the right conditions and materials (wood, sand, soda ash, and silica) for glass so it was the nation's main source of glass for a long period in US history. They make pottery and glass items on site that are sold in the store, and visitors can observe all of this being made. There is a long nature trail, a lake, historic schoolhouse, and various other interesting buildings on the campus. There are at least two stores, both with tons of glass and pottery/ceramic gift options, among other artistic mediums. There is finer art glass sculpture available too, in the gallery store. Wheaton offers a handful of free admission days every year (mostly in summer), including the Fire Muster, with a bunch of fire engines and firemen! They also host craft shows, holiday themed weekends, and other festival events. Live music and food trucks are normally part of any event day. It's a very fun place, and easily can take 2 hours to explore everything. My last visit I was there 3 hours and still didn't get to the nature trail. Nearby Vineland has many great food options, especially Puerto Rican.

The arts center and village is located where glass making began in North America. Before it was even legally permitted by the British colonial rulers, the sandy soil here was too ideal for glass making to be ignored. Glass makers from Central Furope were encouraged to emigrate to set up glass making here and what a job they did until American independence when it finally became openly legal to produce glass and not have to import it from England. One of the great glass-making families of America were the Wheatons who started a factory in Millville, New Jersey and who also founded this arts center and the American Glass Museum. There is much to do here. Watching and learning how glass is made is fascinating and being able to interact with the glass-blowing artisans is very educational. A visit to the comprehensive Museum of American Glass is de rigeur. You'll be amazed at what you will see inside the museum including the world's largest bottle ever created - of course right here in South Jersey. There are shops, a nature walk, and pottery making as well. It's definitely worth a visit to the Wheaton Arts Center complex when you have an afternoon free and you are in Philadelphia or at the Jersey Shore.
