Greater Cape May Historic Society

The Greater Cape May Historical Society is a volunteer-based organization that has been dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history of the greater Cape May area since 1975. They are the proud stewards of The Colonial House, a historic tavern and family home of Revolutionary War patriot Memucan Hughes, believed to be one of the oldest surviving houses on Cape Island.

The Colonial House is open to the public during specific times of the year and by appointment, offering visitors the opportunity to explore and learn about the fascinating history of Cape May. The Society actively engages with the community, encouraging diverse perspectives and fostering open dialogue about the complexities of history. Through grants and donations, they work tirelessly to maintain and preserve the Colonial House, ensuring that future generations can continue to appreciate and learn from this important piece of local history.
