May 26, 2007: Tree of Lights to Benefit Museum

The Cape May County Historical Society will be honoring military past and present on the Memorial Day Tree of Lights, which will be lit on Saturday, May 26th. Individuals and families can honor or memorialize love ones, relatives, or friends by purchasing a light for a donation of $10 each. Your gift to the Memorial Day Tree of Lights is a patriotic way of remembering our military. The lights will be placed on the Daughters of the American Revolution Tree located on the Museum grounds.

All proceeds raised from the Tree of Lights will benefit the Society’s Museum.

June 23, 2007: “Remember the Ladies…”

Join us on Saturday, June 23rd 11 am to 2 pm at the Cape May County Museum located @ 504 Route 9 North, CMCH, for a day planned with your interests in mind. Begin the day with a lecture by Greg Aprill of Leaming’s Run Gardens on 18th century kitchen gardens. Greg will speak about herbs and vegetables that you would find in a typical garden and what heirloom varieties can be grown today.

Following Greg’s program, we will serve a delicious lunch in the gardens, weather permitting.

The afternoon will focus on the Victorian woman, her roles in the family and in society, and the manners and the mores of the Victorian era.

Following the afternoon program, the Museum will be open for a private guided tour for anyone who would like to visit the Museum.

Tickets are $20 and are available at the Museum. We hope you will join us for this special day.
