Cape May Historic District
Cape May Historic District is a sightseeing stop in Cape May, NJ, part of the The Jersey Shore guide. Cost: free.
Around Washington Street Mall and Ocean St · Cape May, NJ
Why you should go…
Cape May's historic district covers 380 acres and more than 600 buildings, most of them late Victorian frame houses, inns and hotels trimmed with gingerbread detail. Much of it was rebuilt after an 1878 fire destroyed about half the town, and the district became a National Historic Landmark in 1976. You can walk the streets on your own or take a guided trolley tour from the Washington Street Mall stop, and the 1879 Physick House Museum is part of some tours.
