CAPE MAY – Celebrate the holiday season the traditional way at Historic Cold Spring Village’s free Wassail Day event, to be held on Sat., Dec. 3 from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. Enjoy the sounds and smells of wintertime celebrations and visit with the whole family!
Guests can meet Father Christmas in the Country Store, which features a unique line of specialty and handmade gift ideas. In addition, a selection of the Village’s historic buildings, dating back to 1691, will be open and adorned in holiday trimmings while guests meet with historically-clothed guides.
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 heritage tourism.
The Village is a museum for all seasons. During the summer months, interpreters in period clothing discuss and demonstrate the trades, crafts and lifestyles from the “age of homespun.” From Oct. 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. For more information, call (609) 898-2300, ext. 10 or visit the Village website at www.hcsv.org.
