Museum Hosts Historic House and Building Tour

CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE – Historic houses and buildings throughout Cape May County will open their doors Saturday, October 12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to allow visitors a peek inside the walls of our county’s past.

    The Museum of Cape May County is hosting a Historic House and Building Tour that will highlight vintage homes and buildings located throughout the county.

    “The houses and buildings on this tour are stunning,” said Museum Director Donna Matalucci. “Each has been meticulously maintained and plays an important role in documenting our county’s rich heritage.”
   Included on the tour are 10 houses and buildings, including the Aaron Ludlam and Carmen-Norton houses in Lower Township, the John Wesley United Methodist Church in Swainton and the Henry Ludlam house in Dennis Township. 

    This tour has been created to allow visitors the time needed to explore each of the historic treasures on the mainland of the county. In order to allow visitors as much time as they wish to spend in each building, this is a self-guided tour. Each tour-goer will be given a brochure noting the brief history of each home or building along with a map.

    Tickets for the tour are $25 per person. For additional information about the tour or to purchase your ticket, please contact the Museum of Cape May County at 609-465-3535 or visit the museum’s website at www.cmcmuseum.org.
