H C S V FOUNDATION

Historic Cold Spring Village is New Jersey's largest open-air, living history museum. The Village is composed of 27 historic buildings that date from the late 17th century to the early 20th century, all lovingly and accurately restored to represent the trades and crafts of an 1800s south Jersey village. In keeping with the mission of education, the Village staff engages with school classes during spring field trips as well as in-class presentations focusing on early American history. Interpretive demonstrations introduce visitors to life during the "age of homespun" in a realistic setting without "velvet ropes" preventing interaction with the people and the place. The goal of HCSV is to become a "must see" destination for local residents as well as visitors to the Cape May region.
