Historical fun day, wear comfortable shoes. Interesting for the family to see how yester-year used to live. Can do in 1/2 day.

The first time we visited Cold Springs was back in 2007. They did a really nice job with the exhibits and it was worth the visit. The year after that, we went to the Celtic Fesitval that they have every year. That was really nice, too. Then is seemed like after that, things started to go down. The Celtic Festival... More

Having lived near Cold Spring Village for many years, we have seen it grow. We do not go as often now that we have moved away and our daughter has grown up. However, it is still a great place to go on a lazy sunny afternoon and let yourself relax and enjoy history. The Ice Cream Shop and the Bakery... More

Thank you so very much for your kind words! Except for the days when we have a big band playing or a pipe and drum corps marching the grounds(!) the Village is definitely a great place to find some peace and quiet. We hope you'll visit us again this summer for your favorite scoop from the Ice Cream Parlor or... More

We were in Cape May last winter, and went up to HCSV to explore. Even though it was not "officially" open, we were able to stroll the grounds, look into the shops and display houses, and get a good feel for what life of that time might have been like. There were turkeys wandering about, and they followed us for... More

It is about 10-15 minutes from down town Cap May so you need a car to get there. It is a collection of old buildings from all over the area that were brought to one spot to create a little village from the 18th century. Often there are people dressed in caricature demonstrating things like basket weaving or iron bending... More

We visited Cold Spring Village during the winter. Most of the buildings were closed and there was no one in sight. We'll have to try again in the cold spring.

Dear Paul, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with other travelers. I woud like to clear something up for you and other TA users. Though visitors are welcome to walk the grounds and enjoy the exhibits in the Welcome Center throughout the year, the Village is in fact a seasonal operation (which is why the gate... More

Mini Williamsburg attraction in Cape May off Route 9. Great for a non-beach day. Crafters who are so engaging. Houses moved here by a local couple. Great restaurant on site. They donated a visit to my elderly Mom with Alzheimers and could not have been more caring.

Whenever we visit Wildwood, we always plan on spending at least a half a day here. Once you walk into this living museum, it's like stepping back in time. Double check the time schedule/call ahead to make sure all the house are open, as some tend to close on certain days. Also, when you walk in, buy a pasty/lemonade from... More
