Our sincere thanks to the hundreds of dedicated volunteers, faithful staff and steadfast Board of Trustees of the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities! Without your commitment year after year, Cape May would be just another unpreserved sleepy shore town with a struggling economy.

By preserving Cape May’s Victorian heritage and urging for our status as a National Historic Landmark City, MAC made tourism in Cape May a year-round reality. Today MAC continues to innovate with programming and events that foster deep appreciation of our heritage and the spirit of historic Cape May.

Thank you, MAC, for 45 years!

MAC years

From the Director

On MAC’s 45th anniversary, I’d like to take stock by comparing the accomplishments of the past five years with the benchmarks I noted in six previous commemorative books. In 1985, I honored MAC’s army of volunteers, who founded the organization, saved the Emlen Physick Estate and started our public tour, special event and publication programs. In 1990, I highlighted our starting the Cape May Lighthouse project and the first steps towards the creation of a professional staff. In 1995, I celebrated MAC’s explosive expansion (in public programs, budget, staff) while pointing with pride to the premiere of the Cape May Music Festival. In 2000, I featured such accomplishments as our acquiring the Carriage House at the Physick Estate (leading to our changing exhibits and the Café & Tearoom), the launching of Spring Festival, Food & Wine Festival and our endowment fund, and major strides in educational outreach. In 2005, I noted the continued proliferation of new programming, major progress at our historic sites, tremendous strides in information technology and the resilience of our staff and Board. In 2010, I reported on the opening of the World War II Lookout Tower and our first Designer Show House, the expansion of Halloween programming and the debut of our first Facebook pages.

While sustaining all of these initiatives, the past five years have witnessed a concerted effort to deepen our relationships with a wide range of constituencies: • Under the aegis of MAC Board leader Jeff Elliott, we launched three Friends Groups in 2010, “communities of passion” for lovers of the World War II Lookout Tower, the Emlen Physick Estate and the Cape May Lighthouse.

Under the capable leadership of their staff coordinators (Bob Heinly, Barbara Oberholtzer and Nanci Coughlin, respectively), these Friends Groups have engaged hundreds of enthusiasts in a wide range of programs, while also raising significant funds to enhance these properties (e.g., the erection of an All Veterans Memorial at the Tower).

• Under the direction of Board Member Myles Martel, the community has rallied around our Lessons of History Distinguished Lecture Series, including the creation of a sizable endowment fund to guarantee its future.

• For the venerable Cape May Music Festival, the untimely April 2012 demise of jazz pianist George Mesterhazy has led to annual tribute concerts that attract the “Tout Cape May.” • The exhibits in the Carriage House Gallery (renamed the Carroll Gallery in 2014, in honor of Tom

and Sue Carroll) have switched from general themes to celebrations of community icons (e.g., the Chalfonte Hotel, historic preservationists, firefighters, watercolorist Alice Steer Wilson).

• Weekly “Lunch and Learn” lectures through the winter months have provided intellectual sustenance for our year-round population.

• Tom Carroll has recruited a large and enthusiastic crew of volunteers who, every week, cut, trim and manicure the Physick Estate grounds.

• Targeted iniatives have sought to connect us with young families, second homeowners and visitors staying in rental houses and campgrounds.

Equally important, the past five years have witnessed an explosion of events on the grounds of our historic properties, turning them into beehives of community activity. At the Physick Estate, the 2012 launch of August’s Craft Beer & Crab Festival (under the inspired leadership of Graydon and Diane Hutchinson) has grown into the single biggest day in the MAC calendar, while spawning such “copycat” events as the Harvest Brew Fest in September 2015, as well as the Cape May Hops Fest scheduled for June 2016. The Lighthouse grounds now host weekly Family Fun Festivals/Crafts Shows through the Summer, the Friends Group’s Christmas in July fundraiser, the celebration of National Lighthouse Day on August 7 and October’s Lighthouse Challenge of New Jersey. And at the World War II Lookout Tower, the annual Armed Forces Day Ceremony has become a patriotic salute to veterans of all wars and services.

Finally, the resilience shown since the turn of the century has been truly put to the test by the continued economic rollercoaster ride of the past five years. The MAC Board, under the successive presidencies of Doug McMain and Mary McKenney, has not only been an unwavering source of stability and steady governance but has also been a fruitful source of many of the innovations described above. The MAC staff, meanwhile has become the “poster child” for the productivity gains of our nation’s “jobless recovery.” Despite a wage freeze since 2007, our staff has eagerly taken on any number of new challenges, thanks to the inspired leadership of our management team (Chief Operating Officer Bill Ten Eyck, and his successor, Melissa Zeides, Chief Outreach Officer Mary Stewart and Chief Financial Officer Charles Kealy) and their talented and dedicated lieutenants.

The Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities and the Rebirth of Cape May 1970-2015

by B. Michael Zuckerman, PhD., Director (1982 - ) Cape May’s spectacular rebirth as a Victorian theme destination has followed a highly unusual course. No wealthy philanthropist came to its rescue, showering millions of dollars to transform the town (as did a John D. Rockefeller, Jr. at Colonial Williamsburg). No government super-agency stepped in and waved its magic wand (as did a National Park Service at Philadelphia’s Independence National Park).

Rather, Cape May’s revival has been a classic example of community “bootstrapping,” involving three major partners.

The first is the City of Cape May, which has provided the necessary regulatory controls and resort infrastructure.

The second is the Cape May business community, whose members have poured their life savings and sweat equity into restoring hundreds of historic buildings. The third is a cultural not-for-profit organization, the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts and Humanities (MAC).

Since its founding in 1970, MAC has forged alliances with both other partners to further Cape May’s rebirth. In its early years, MAC focused largely on the city government, fighting to shift it towards a pro-preservation stance. With this struggle won, MAC’s partnership with Cape May’s business community then rose to the fore. Through its sponsorship of cultural and heritage tourism, MAC has become a principal agency for Cape May’s economic revival. By aggressively marketing an evergrowing roster of tours and special events, MAC has helped lure mass audiences to Cape May on a year around basis. These visitors, in turn, provide the solid customer base that the business community needs to sustain scores upon scores of preservation success stories.

1970-2015

MAC years

Celebrating our history...

Enriching your life

MAC’s history to date falls into four distinct phases: the Pioneer Phase (1970-80), when MAC waged its battle with City Hall and laid the foundation for its cultural and heritage tourism mission; the Adolescent Phase (1981-87), when MAC experimented with different approaches before reaching its present trajectory; the Growth to Maturity Phase (1988 – 2002), in which MAC fulfilled much of its early promise as the leader in Cape May’s economic and cultural rebirth; and A Challenging Decade (2003 - present), in which MAC has re-engineered itself in the face of economic, cultural and demographic upheavals.

PIONEER PHASE (1970-1980) MAC was formed in September 1970 at a critical juncture in Cape May’s history. In the course of the 1960s, Cape May had become a magnet for growing numbers of historic preservationists and artists, attracted by its unparalleled (albeit dilapidated) collection of Victorian seaside architecture. Their vision was increasingly at odds with the city government, which saw modern motel construction as Cape May’s panacea. When the historic Hotel Lafayette was torn down in the summer of 1970 to make way for the Marquis de Lafayette, the preservationists vowed that they would band together and fight any future demolitions.

They did not have long to wait. In September, the developer-owners of the Emlen Physick Estate (with its 1879 mansion and outbuildings,

And in 1973, they began the municipal government. To the shock and fury of the new major historic house tours that opened large numbers of Cape organization, the city administration turned down the federal May’s Victorian gems to the public.

Equally important, MAC’s founders launched special grant, citing its opposition to the loss of tax ratables.

Not to be denied, MAC’s leaders mounted a political events that served a variety of purposes. They first focused on revolution to achieve their goals. Running on a platform of fund-raisers at the Physick Estate, starting with a Halloween quality of life and historic preservation, Bruce Minnix led a “Haunted House” in October 1970 and a Victorian Fair on the reform ticket to victory in the November 1972 elections.

They broke truly new ground first actions as mayor in 1973 were to accept the HUD grant, in 1973, when they held the first Victorian Weekend over the purchase the Physick Estate for the City of Cape May and Columbus Day holiday.

At the same time that they were waging these political free throughout the community, TWICM has become the battles, MAC’s founders were busy laying the organization’s “bible” for generations of Cape May visitors.

and staff. Much credit for this ongoing harmony belonged to the successive presidencies of Marianne Schatz (1989-1991), John Bailey (1992-94), Elan Zingman-Leith (1995-97), Tom Carroll’s second term (1998-2000) and Ed Henry (2001-03).

A mature professional staff made it possible to manage existing programs while allowing MAC to strike out in new directions. A crucial infrastructure was created, involving the gradual introduction of professional standards to a host of areas, including: accounting, ADA accessibility, collections management, communications, computer networks, database management, educational outreach, employee management, emergency planning, interpretation, long-range planning, maintenance, marketing, publications, restoration, retail, special events, staff training, and volunteer management.

With this strong organizational capacity, MAC was able to build vigorously on the foundations laid during its first two decades.

A key factor behind MAC’s growing professionalism was the emergence in 2000 of truly massive General Operating Support grants from the New Jersey Historical Commission.

This injection of State funding contributed to a 50% increase in MAC’s operating budget in the first three years of the decade, which, in turn, accelerated many advances in the infrastructure needed to deliver MAC’s wide range of public programs.

Throughout this phase, MAC continued to make great strides in its efforts to extend the tourism season. In 1990, MAC launched the Cape May Music Festival as a strategy to attract visitors to the area during the “soft” weeks before the peak summer season. With significant grant support from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and unprecedented contributions from scores of area businesses and individuals, the Music Festival has grown into MAC’s flagship cultural offering. This phase also saw a continual expansion of Christmas programming, with the number of Candlelight House Tours increased from one to three, a wide variety of offerings added to the calendar, and the holiday season stretched from the weekend before Thanksgiving (Holiday Preview Weekend) to the weekend after New Year’s. In 1990, MAC introduced successful Sherlock Holmes Weekends in March and November. In 1996, MAC transplanted the best of October’s Victorian Week to a Spring Victorian Weekend,

which grew into a 10-day Spring Festival (in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce of Greater Cape May).

Part of this “season-stretching” was accomplished with an expanding roster of partners. For nearly a decade, Cape May’s innkeepers lent their expertise to the INN Deep workshop on how to acquire, restore and operate a bed-and-breakfast inn. In 1997, Cape May’s restaurant community joined forces with MAC to launch the Cape May Food and Wine Festival, scheduled for the third week in September. Since 1995, another key partner has been the Cape May Whale Watcher, with whom MAC co-sponsors daily Around Cape Island and other specialty boat cruises.

Nor have MAC’s partnerships been limited to the for-profit sector. Throughout this phase, MAC developed important joint ventures with the City of Cape May, including administering the Washington Street Mall Information Booth (in return for selling City Beach Tags) and co-sponsoring a series of children’s cultural programs and crafts shows at Cape May Convention Hall. MAC also joined forces with a number of area nonprofits, cosponsoring nature walks with the Nature Center of Cape May; cross-marketing the Cape May Lighthouse with Historic Cold Spring Village, Naval Air Station Wildwood and Hereford Inlet Lighthouse; offering exhibits and programs that celebrate Cape May’s African American heritage with the Center for Community Arts; running the Doo Wop 50s Trolley Tour of the Wildwoods with the Doo Wop Preservation League; packaging Naval Air Station Wildwood with the World War II Trolley Tour; and providing marketing outreach and ticket sales for area theater companies. With the Delaware River and Bay Authority, MAC offered packages that encourage visitors to leave their cars on the Delaware side and take the Cape MayLewes Ferry and a shuttle bus to a MAC trolley tour.

This phase has also saw several giant steps forward in MAC’s administration of its historic sites. The Physick Estate underwent a systematic reinterpretation of the interior and grounds, taking into account the latest historical scholarship.

5) Recognizing the declining interest in Victoriana by tilting our October programming from a 10-day Victorian Week to primarily Halloween, replacing our general historic inns tours with ones that have a particular theme (Sherlock Holmes, chocolate), while striving to sustain and reinvigorate the one kind of tour that still draws a mass audience – the Christmas Candlelight House Tours.

6) Seeking to provide ever-increasing opportunities for people to have meaningful engagement with MAC, ranging from our three Friends groups (with their wide array of “grass roots” programs) to the Lessons of History Team and Museum Division and Physick Estate grounds volunteers. A particular focus involves attracting, educating, entertaining and engaging more young business people and families.

7) Developing innovative and aggressive marketing programs to carry our message to the widest possible public, including the use of electronic media (e.g., email outreach, Facebook, Twitter) and outreach to visitors staying at area rental properties, hotels and campgrounds.

In its first 45 years, MAC has been a major force behind Cape May’s dramatic rebirth. As of 2015, with strong Board leadership, a membership base of 3,500, an annual audience of some 280,000 and a staff of 160 (25 full-time and 135 parttime employees, making MAC one of Cape May’s largest employers), MAC stands poised to help Cape May sustain its preservation success story for years to come.

This Scarecrow Alley scarecrow captured both the rise of Halloween as a major seasonal event and the emergence of the Craft Beer & Crab Festival as MAC’s single biggest day of the year.

MAC MAC Volunteer Awards years 1970 - 2015 In 1997, we honored the “Top 6” volunteers. Starting in 1998, we have recognized volunteers for the number of days of service they contributed to make our many tours and events run successfully. Two categories of service are acknowledged – Gold Award winners, who give 35 or more days of service per year; and Silver Award winners, who give between 20 and 34 days of service. MAC’s all-volunteer Board of Trustees has chosen not to give Volunteer Service Awards to currently serving members.

MAC’s Maintenance Team Starting in the spring of 2009, a new group of volunteers decided to help the understaffed MAC Maintenance Department by taking on some of the grounds work. Their goal was to help make and keep the lawns and gardens of the Estate the most attractive public space in Cape May. Now, every Friday, both at 9am and 1pm, two teams descend upon the grounds to drive and push mowers, edge the walks, whack the weeds, rake the leaves, crawl through the flower beds on their knees and go home exhausted. This Band of Friends’ average age is about 70 years, but they are noted for their hard, steady work. They take great pride in their work and leave the Estate looking beautiful.

o have We salute all wh They served on the Texeacmee.ded have met and their goal!
