COURT HOUSE – The Cape May County Historical and Genealogical Society (CMCHGS) has announced the historic Judge Nathaniel Foster House has been saved.
During the May 10 Chosen Board of Freeholders meeting, a resolution was passed to execute a contract of sale between the society for the 1.2 acre property located at 1649 Bayshore Road for $235,000 and the county’s Open Space Program.
