Historic Cold Spring Village

Historic Cold Spring Village is an open-air museum that showcases life in 19th-century New Jersey, set on 30 acres of wooded grounds. The site features over 25 restored buildings, including homes, shops, and a blacksmith forge, all illustrating the regional heritage of Cape May County and the era’s craftsmanship. Visiting offers a glimpse into rural life with period-dressed interpreters demonstrating traditional crafts and daily activities. The village hosts seasonal events, so spring and summer are ideal for attending workshops or special programs. Nearby, the Cape May Lighthouse provides additional historical context and panoramic views of the coastline.
