History of Cape May

In Cape May, you'll find over 300 years of history. I love this quote from CapeMayCountyNJ.gov: "Cape May County’s rich history spans centuries from Native Americans to the arrival of the whaler yeomen, into the Victorian age, through world wars, to Harriet Tubman, to the Doo Wop era and beyond."

If you haven't been to Cape May, plan on spending a day. Take a trolley tour, visit a lighthouse, grab lunch in one of the many resturants.

Yes, we love Cape May. Pretty Cape May!
