Cold Spring Village
Travel back in time amidst 22 acres of
living history at Cold Spring Historic
Village in Cape May New Jersey. Historic Cold
Spring Village is an early American,
open-air, living history museum that
takes you back to the “age of homespun”
life in the late 1700s to early 1800s.
Experience the day-to-day activities of
New Jersey colonists through an
interactive, educational and family fun
living exhibit. Gardens, farm sites,
rustic buildings and quaint village
lanes transport visitors to life as the
colonists lived it. Historic actors are
spread out in twenty-six historic
buildings to educate children and
families about our nation’s rich
heritage. Crafts, exhibits and games
have been reliving South Jersey history
for 25 year in Cold Spring Village.
View
the lost art of weaving in the Phillip
Hand House, listen in on a lecture in
the old school house, and be amazed at
the difficult craft of a 19th Century
blacksmith at the Finley Blacksmith
Shop. Artisan crafts and tasty treats
including pottery, brooms, ironware,
sweets, home-made jams, jellies, and
antiquated toys are on sale at the
Village Country Store. The Museum Store
also features unique gifts and
historical information about Cold
Spring Village. Grab lunch at the food
stand or Cold Spring Village Restaurant
