Congressman LoBiondo Visits Historic Cold Spring

CAPE MAY – March 8, Congressman Frank LoBiondo met with members of his Youth Advisory Council at Historic Cold Spring Village in Cape May. The group began their visit with a tour of the Village grounds, led by HSCV Education and Interpretation Director, Jim Stephens. The students were then invited to a dynamic question and answer session with Congressman LoBiondo. Topics under discussion ranged from domestic affairs and Washington politics to the potential ramifications of the current unrest in Ukraine. Twenty-two high schools in New Jersey’s 2nd Congressional District are represented in the Council. The students are selected by their principals for participation in the council because they exhibit strong leadership potential. Congressman LoBiondo meets with members of the Youth Advisory Council four times a year at various locations throughout his district.
Historic Cold Spring Village is a non-profit, open air living history museum that portrays the daily life of a rural South Jersey community of the Early American era. Its mission includes the preservation of 26 historic Cape May County buildings, history education and promoting heritage tourism. The Village is a museum for all seasons. During the summer months, interpreters and artisans in period clothing preserve the trades, crafts and heritage of “the age of homespun.” From October to May, the emphasis is on teaching history through school trips to the Village, classroom visits by the education department and interactive teleconferences with schools throughout the United States. The Village is located on Route 9, three miles north of Victorian Cape May and a mile and a half west of the southern end of the Garden State Parkway.
