What to do and see in Cape May, New Jersey (NJ): The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

February 15, 2022 Franklyn Hardiman

Emlen Physick Estate

The 1879 Emlen Physick Estate is Cape May's only Victorian house museum. Designed by renowned American architect Frank Furness, the home has been fully restored. Its 15 rooms open a window into Victorian times in Cape May. Guided and self-guided tours are offered. Each year, a new theme is interpreted in the museum, which has been restored and is operated by the non-profit Cape May MAC (Museums + Arts + Culture). The organization also offers guided daytime and evening trolley tours of Cape May, as well as the Cape May Lighthouse and the World War II Lookout Tower. Check website for more information.

The mansion, outer buildings and grounds are beautifully restored. My family and I enjoyed exploring the mansion and learning about its history, architecture and restoration from our tour guide. The gift shop had a nice selection of gifts, books and collectibles as well as a expertly curated exhibit about the Cape May Lighthouse. A very nice way to spend an afternoon.
