Historic Cold Spring Village

Historic Cold Spring village is just 10 minutes from Cape May and is the Largest Open-Air Living History Museum in New Jersey!

It was beautiful weather for a fun family day walking the grounds, visiting the animals, and eating some ice cream while seeing how baskets and tools were made by hand in the 1800s.
