Things to do in Cape May

• The Cape May County Historical and Genealogical Society
  The Cape May County historical and genealogical society started in 1927, and opened the museum in 1930 to preserve the history of the Cape for future generations and their education with this diverse museum set in the house of the Cresse-Holmes families. Research began in 2005, by Joan Berkey, a historical preservation consultant to discover the history behind the house that served as the society's museum; which at the time was called the John Holmes House. It was discovered that the home was built in parts, with the kitchen section constructed in 1704, by John Cresse, son of Arthur, who had purchased the land in 1695. The main part of the house, all 2.5 stories, couldn't have been built by John since he passed in 1791, and the nails that were used for this construction weren't manufactured until after 1828. It was noticed that the interior mantels, and other various woodworks, including some exterior details, were the same as other houses in the region that were built between 1825, and 1835. After looking through some letters she found that the last living relative had been Emma Holmes, during the 1930s, and that her grandfather, Robert Morris Holmes had torn down the house that John had built and this house had been rebuilt by the Fosters, son and father, that lived in the area, and had been constructed about 1830. The museum houses many varied and expansive displays that contain costumes, furniture, tools, decorative and practical items from the 17th to the 20th centuries. There are period rooms that include the 18th century kitchen and bedroom with sampler collection, the Victorian sitting room and the pre-1820 dining room. There is a doctor's room that has certain surgical instruments and devices, as well as the military room that exhibits such marvelous relics as swords, uniforms, guns and other collectibles from the Revolutionary War period to the Gulf War. There is also a vintage 1800s barn with numerous carriages that include a peddler's wagon, stage coach and excellently restored doctor's carriage, or sulky as they were called back in those days. There is even a Native American room with an expansive number of shells, tools and arrowheads of the Lenni-Lenape tribe, and the museum contains the original Fresnel lens that was used in the 1859 Cape May Point Lighthouse, along with other maritime and whaling displays.  There is a lot more history to discover at this wonderful museum/house, with particularly interesting facts about the construction methods used in the house, in the county and in that period of time during our early history. When you travel to the area, be sure to check it all out and you will be pleasantly surprised what information can be uncovered with slow methodical ways.

• Emlen Physick Estate
  The Emlen Physick Estate is now a Victorian house museum that sits in Cape May, New Jersey, on Washington Street and constructed in 1879 for Doctor Emlen Physick Jr. The 18 room mansion was designed by well known and recognized American architect, Frank Furness, who built the magnificent house for the doctor, who was a descendant of a renown Philadelphia family, that included his widowed mother, Mrs. Ralston and maiden aunt Emilie. The mansion is tied to the Furness's Knowlton Mansion in northeast Philly, and this house is one of the best examples of Stick style architecture in the nation. The exterior is recognized for the Furness trademark oversized features, that include the hooded jerkin-head dormers, enormous upside-down corbelled chimneys and large stick like brackets on the porch. There are numerous pieces of the original furnishings inside, exhibited throughout the house. In 1970, the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts (MAC) was created to save the house that faced a wrecking ball, and it is now a Victorian historic house museum. When the house was completed, Emlen, his mother and aunt moved into the house, since Emlen would never marry. His grandfather, Dr. Philip Syng Physick had been thought of as the father of American surgery and had been the inventor of many surgical procedures and instruments that are in use today. Emlen did graduate from medical school, but never practiced medicine, preferring to become a gentleman farmer, owing two tenant farms, as well as raising livestock on his estate. He purchased and sold many pieces of real estate in the region, and became active in the local happenings by giving his opinions at the cit council meetings held in the town. Their distinguished house showcases the changing tastes of the family, and the kind of lifestyle that became a part of the Victorian period in this country. The museum has introduced a new exhibit for this year, called "HERstory", that looks at the changing roles of women during that era, that encouraged them to become elegant flowers needing constant attention and protection while they lounged in their parlors. And this attitude would spur the first Women's movement in this country that is shown in the new exhibit.
