African American Heritage Honored

CAPE MAY CITY – The city has long been one of America’s premier summer resort towns. It is also, since 1976, a designated National Historic Landmark, a showcase of Victorian-era architecture that preserves and renders accessible to the public a past period with all of its grace and elegance.

Recently the city further enhanced that standing with an amendment to its National Landmark Status that gives long-overdue recognition to the city’s African American heritage. According to Mayor Zach Mullock and Historic Preservation Commission Chair Warren Copeland, it was the first successful amendment to a national landmark status in the county.
