MAC Leadership A F O N D FA R E W E L L

When, at the tender age of 32, I was hired as MAC’s first full-time Director in December 1982, little did I imagine that I’d be penning this valedictory exactly 37 years later. Rather, I expected that my career path would follow the typical trajectory in my field, hopping every five to seven years from one “greener pasture” to another. Instead, MAC and Cape May have provided me an endless succession of “greener pastures.” With a 20-fold increase in budget (from under $200,000 to some $4 million), and a concomitant growth in public programming and staffing, I’ve experienced constant career growth without ever having to pull up stakes.

But, all good things must come to an end. As my February 2020 retirement date has loomed, I’ve switched my focus to facilitating a smooth transition to my successor. Early on, I shared my two top “wishes” with the Director Search Team – that they hire someone who 1) would sustain and advance MAC’s preservation, interpretation and cultural enrichment missions; and 2)

would treat our “people (Board, staff and volunteers) well.” With Jody Alessandrine, I believe that they’ve “hit the jackpot.” Between his demonstrated passion for historic and natural preservation and his deep well of humility and compassion, I can’t imagine a more worthy successor.

That bodes well because, if there’s one thing that I can safely predict, it’s that MAC will continue to face as many challenges in its next 50 years as it has in its first.

Among the “biggies:” How can we continue to lure people from their mobile devices to visit our historic sites and participate in our cultural programming? How will MAC and Cape May adapt to rising sea levels? With the support of our “people,” I’m confident that Jody Alessandrine can lead MAC to a glorious future.

Wishing you all the best!

B. Michael Zuckerman, Ph.D. MAC Director, December 1982 – February 2020

A CAREER HIGHLIGHT

In 1995, as a relatively recent Cape May County resident, I took the position as the inaugural beat reporter for the newest Catamaran Media weekly newspaper, The Lower Cape Gazette. Much of my assignments involved covering the Lower Township, Cape May, West Cape May, and Cape May Point municipal governments, planning and zoning boards, and municipal utility authorities. Among the other aspects of my news coverage responsibilities included local cultural organizations’ special events, and the like. That is when I was first introduced to MAC, and its then alreadytenured director, Michael Zuckerman.

My wife, Cheryl, and I had spent many long weekends at bed and breakfasts in Cape May. We were later even married at the Cape Island Baptist Church, had our reception at the Merion Inn, and spent our wedding night at the former Humphrey Hughes House’s Doctor’s Quarters. But, it was not until I became more intimately familiar with MAC from my reporter experience that we became Members. And even after I left the Gazette, I kept in contact with Michael, and Cheryl and I continued to frequent MAC events. (This Christmas was the 27th

-4-

time in our 30 years together that we went on the Candlelight House Tour!).

Thus, when Michael announced his retirement, and the position was advertised, I realized that for some time, I had both consciously and unconsciously been preparing for this opportunity. Thankfully, my career choices and experience in the non-profit, public, and for-profit sectors, offered my candidacy a fighting chance. And, it would indeed be an understatement to say that becoming Cape May MAC’s Director & CEO, starting in February 2020, is anything but the highlight of my professional career.

I look forward to upholding Michael’s legacy, and respecting MAC’s proud past, and feel blessed to be working with a wonderful, dedicated Board of Trustees and staff. At the same time, I also am excited to lead Cape May MAC into its next half century with an open mind to new projects and programs to meet the needs of Cape May area residents and visitors for years to come.

It was a beautiful Fall day in October 1969, when Sue and I drove for the first time into the town that was to be our home for the next few years, our Coast Guard assigned destination, Cape May. We needed a place to live, since there was no Coast Guard housing then, and right away were fascinated by all the interesting old homes. The one that really caught our attention stood in the center of a large lot and it was a fabulous Victorian mansion, very dilapidated, and over grown with weeds and brush. Sue jokingly said “let’s buy that one!”. Well, in a way we did, and it has owned much of our time and dedication for 50 years.

We rented a house on Pittsburgh Ave. from Fred Kuhner, who became MAC’s first president. Soon after, he invited us to a meeting with a group of middle- aged folks who wanted to save that house and grounds known as the Emlen Physick Estate. They had access to the house and permission from the owner to use the property while they considered how to acquire it. From the pictures of it then, you can easily understand why their first idea was to offer tours of the “haunted house” for Halloween. It was an amazing success and the scary tour continued for several years. The leaders of this new group persisted, named themselves “The Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts,” sold bonds, applied for grants, cleaned up the grounds and most importantly ran sympathetic candidates for Cape May City Council. The leader, Bruce Minnix, a New York television director and the least likely individual to win the election, became mayor and his energy, charisma, and leadership helped all of Cape May to enter what we now call the Cape May Renaissance.

The slow but steady start of the restoration of the Physick Estate became a symbol of a change in direction for the community. Cape May stopped envying Wildwood’s modern motels and booming beach business and collectively decided

that our future would be found in our past. The old “white elephants” started changing hands and young people from all over became shop owners, restaurateurs and innkeepers and dedicated themselves to the community as much as to their own occupations.

Cape May was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976, the year that coincided with our country’s celebration of our Bicentennial. Educational travel with a special emphasis on history was becoming popular. Opportunity was knocking on our doors and MAC jumped in to take full advantage of it.

Victorian Weekend, with its house tours, fashion shows, stained glass tours and lectures, introduced the Fall season soon to be followed by Christmas in Cape May. The State Tourism Office named Cape May their “Shining Star”.

So here we are 50 years later, a year-round historic attraction with eco-tourism, wineries, breweries, birding, festivals, and an incredible variety of accommodations and restaurants added to the mix of attractions. I wonder what those “middle aged” founders of MAC would think of us now?

Over the years, I have often heard residents and visitors say, “Cape May is perfect, don’t change a thing,” but this is truly impossible. Change will always come, some positive and some not so much, but usually a combination that needs leadership and direction from organizations like MAC and of course, Cape May’s City Council, board members and citizen volunteers.

If our past is still our future, we are probably in good shape.

As we recently learned in MAC’s Lessons of History lecture, Winston Churchill had similar thoughts when he said that “the further we look into our past, the better we can understand our future.”

A new name and brand for

MAC

In 1970, the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts (MAC) was formed by a band of volunteer citizens with a mission to help preserve the history of the Cape May region. Initially, MAC’s founders had broad, lofty goals for the organization, which is reflected in their choice of name. Over the course of our 50-year lifetime, the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities (we expanded our name in 2009) has been the leader in cultural and heritage tourism in the Cape May region.

Over this same lifetime, the organization has struggled with an identity crisis. MAC’s name is vague and a little misleading. Additionally, the longstanding branding strategy had been to focus on promoting the unique identity of each of our offerings, rather than promoting MAC as the brand behind each offering. As a result, many visitors and residents are unaware of all that MAC has to offer.

In preparing for the 50th anniversary year, MAC’s leaders engaged in strategic planning initiatives to ensure MAC’s stability and success for the next 50 years. One of

the major goals identified was the need for MAC to work on establishing a strong, clear brand to launch itself into the future. Over the course of 2018-19, MAC’s board and staff, working with the Princeton Strategic Communications Group, have poured time and energy into a re-branding initiative to be revealed in our 50th anniversary year.

Starting in 2020, we are changing our name to “Cape May MAC (Museums + Arts + Culture).”

By keeping the acronym “MAC,” we maintain a link to our 50-year history as an organization. Redefining the acronym to represent “Museums + Arts + Culture” clearly describes our multifaceted mission and adding “Cape May” to our name reflects our focus and commitment to the Cape May region. Along with this name change comes a complete re-branding of the organization, including, a brand-new logo and website! Our new brand is a thoughtful representation of what Cape May MAC means to our residents and visitors.

The Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities and the Rebirth of Cape May 19 7 0 – 2 0 2 0 Cape May’s spectacular rebirth as a Victorian theme destination has followed a highly unusual course.

PIONEER PHASE (1970-1982)

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 superagency 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 propreservation 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 ever-growing 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.

MAC’s history to date falls into five distinct phases: the Pioneer Phase (1970-82), when MAC waged its battle with City Hall and laid the foundation for its cultural and heritage tourism mission; the Adolescent Phase (1983-87), when MAC experimented with different approaches before reaching its present trajectory; the Growth to Maturity Phase (1988–1994), in which MAC emerged as a fully developed organization; the Golden Age (1995 – 2002), in which MAC fulfilled much of its early promise as the leader in Cape May’s economic and cultural rebirth; and Shifting Tectonic Plates (2003 - present), in which MAC has re-engineered itself in the face of economic, cultural and demographic upheavals.

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, vacant and vandalized, on eight overgrown acres) announced plans to bulldoze this landmark to make way for tract housing. To forestall this disaster, MAC’s founders (Fred Kuhner, Bruce and Corinne Minnix, and Carolyn Pitts) took the lead in incorporating the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts. By the very name they chose, they signaled that saving the Physick Estate was but a first step to achieving a very broad mission.

Their efforts to raise the $90,000 purchase price for the Physick Estate inadvertently led MAC’s founders into a pitched battle with City Hall. Federal funding was the likeliest source, but the HUD grants written

by MAC’s founders had to be funneled through the municipal government. To the shock and fury of the new organization, the city administration turned down the federal grant, citing its opposition to the loss of tax ratables.

Not to be denied, MAC’s leaders mounted a political revolution to achieve their goals. Running on a platform of quality of life and historic preservation, Bruce Minnix led a reform ticket to victory in the November 1972 elections. His first actions as

- 10 -

mayor in 1973 were to accept the HUD grant, purchase the Physick Estate for the City of Cape May and immediately lease it to MAC for its restoration and operation as a public cultural facility.

Minnix’s four years in office, crowned by the entire city’s being declared a National Historic landmark in 1976, proved to be a turning point in Cape May’s history. During his tenure, the slogan “our future is in our past” became the official policy of city government.

Although Minnix was defeated for re-election in 1976, this commitment to historic preservation has been carried on by every successive administration.

At the same time that they were waging these political battles, MAC’s founders were busy laying the organization’s foundations.

Their first priority, naturally, was to restore the Physick Estate. They rallied an army of volunteers, who repaired leaking roofs, sanded and painted, reglazed missing windows, cleared jungle growth from the grounds, and carried out the myriad other labors needed to bring the Estate back from the brink. A fierce internal debate ensued over how the facility would be used, with one faction urging that the main house be converted into artists’ studios and apartments and another advocating a more historic use. The latter view prevailed, leading to a thorough restoration of the main house, and its operation as a Victorian house museum (a mission which has continued down to the present). This project has benefited from a succession of professional consultants, including restoration architects Hugh McCauley and Hyman Myers, historic paint analyst Frank Welch, textile conservator Helene von Rosensteil, restoration architects Watson & Henry Associates and (currently) Bob Russell of HMR Architects.

From the outset, however, MAC’s founders started programs that went far beyond restoring the Physick Estate. One of their major initiatives was to extend MAC’s interpretative net over the entire community. In 1971, they started offering guided walking tours of Cape May’s Historic District. The following year, they purchased the trolley tour franchise of the defunct Victorian Village Development Corporation (a for-profit entity started in the

mid-1960s, whose assets also included an inventory of Victorian furniture that was placed in the empty Physick House). And in 1973, they began major historic house tours that opened large numbers of Cape May’s Victorian gems to the public.

Equally important, MAC’s founders launched special events that served a variety of purposes. They first focused on fund-raisers at the Physick Estate, starting with a Halloween “Haunted House” in October 1970 and a Victorian Fair on the grounds in the spring of 1971.

They broke truly new ground in 1973, when they held the first Victorian Weekend over the Columbus Day holiday. As it grew in popularity, this October event became a powerful magnet stretching the Cape May tourism season beyond the traditional ten weeks of summer. They continued this trend the following year, when MAC’s first Christmas Candlelight House Tour put Cape May on the path of becoming a major Christmas destination.

That same year (1974), MAC’s founders added a crucial marketing tool to their budding organizational structure. Filling a void, they launched the publication of “This Week In Cape May” (TWICM). Supported in full by advertisers and distributed free throughout the community, TWICM has become the “bible” for generations of Cape May visitors. TWICM’s success helped propel MAC into its role as a principal marketer of Cape May. May’s many attractions and happenings.

ADOLESCENT PHASE (1983-87) After a decade of spectacular growth and creativity, MAC found itself at a crossroads as it entered the 1980s. Like a typical teenager, it faced some confusion as it experimented with options and experienced a variety of growing pains. Ultimately, MAC emerged from these trials stronger than ever, with a sharpened sense of mission and a greatly enhanced infrastructure.

The overriding issues of this phase involved volunteer “burn out” and the beginnings of a professional staff.

After carrying MAC through all of the triumphs of its early years, volunteer labor began to flag in the face of an ever-growing public tour schedule. By the late 1970s, MAC reluctantly turned to hired staff to lead trolley and Physick

CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

MAC and the Rebirth of Cape May Estate tours, drive the trolleys, handle clerical chores and mow the grass.

The further decision to create a professional staff truly set off a storm of controversy. As volunteer burn out began to invade MAC’s Board leadership, President Herb Beitel (1981-83) led the move to replace the Office Manager with its first full-time Director (this writer) at the end of 1982. The following summer, the organization added a full-time Tour Director. After several years of “creeping professionalization,” a predictable backlash occurred, and it took all of President Tom Carroll’s (1985-87) strategic skills to steer MAC through this crisis.

Efforts to turn back the clock to a more “pure” volunteer state were defeated, and the organization was committed firmly to its present growth trajectory.

Nothing cemented this course more than the explosive increase in MAC’s public programming throughout this period. As Cape May’s fortunes rose in the 1980s in response to a national craze for Victoriana, so did the range and complexity of MAC’s tours and activities. From the single trolley tour route of the 1970s, a second was added in 1983 and a third in 1985. In 1984, the four-day Victorian Weekend in October was expanded to a 10day Victorian Week. Christmas trolley tours were introduced to flesh out the holiday season, and special events were launched for February, April and May. This phase also saw the start of MAC’s participation in joint ventures with for-profit partners. In 1981, the owners of three of Cape May’s leading Victorian landmarks approached MAC with a proposal to join with the Physick Estate in a MAC-sponsored Mansions By Gaslight tour. Offered weekly throughout the peak season, this tour proved so successful that it was joined by a second group of houses (Cottages at Twilight) in 1983 and by numerous other combinations in the years since. These ventures have greatly enhanced MAC’s ability to interpret the interiors of large numbers of Cape May’s restored Victorians for the public, while forging closer links between MAC and the business community and providing an important additional source of earned income. Other kinds of partnerships also took root in this period: starting in 1983, MAC brought in Don Coffman, a major promoter of antiques and crafts shows, to co-sponsor shows throughout the year; and in 1986, MAC joined with a local sightseeing boat to offer guided boat tours around Cape Island.

While the sum of these experiences was positive and

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11)

pointed to a bright future, it took one particular event to catapult MAC to its next phase of growth—the “acquisition” of the Cape May Lighthouse. The Lighthouse project was conceived by Tom Carroll, who started working on it in 1983. It took three years of intensive negotiations, involving the residents of Cape May Point, the U.S. Coast Guard and the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry, before MAC received a long-term lease for this 1859-vintage structure.

Under the lease, MAC assumed responsibility for the restoration and operation of the Lighthouse as a museum. In 1987, the ground floor was opened to the public and planning was completed for the public safety improvements needed for climbing the tower.

The addition of the Cape May Lighthouse to MAC’s roster proved momentous in a number of ways.

It offered a new area of interpretation, involving lighthouse and maritime history and technology.

It brought major new audiences to MAC’s doorstep (e.g., lighthouse buffs, families with children), with the 60,000 visitors in 1988 increasing to a peak of 110,000 by 1997. Reflecting the Lighthouse’s importance as a heritage tourism attraction, these numbers significantly enhanced MAC’s contribution to the local economy. The Lighthouse also housed MAC’s first Museum Shop. Finally, the Lighthouse had a huge impact on MAC’s organizational structure, more than doubling its budget between 1986 and 1988.

GROWTH TO MATURITY PHASE (1988-1994)

Once through its Adolescent Phase, MAC embarked on a period of continuous success as the cultural and heritage tourism engine pulling the Cape May economy. In the process, it again more than doubled its organizational scale and budget, while offering an ever-wider array of cultural and educational programming.

Central to this mature accomplishment was continuation of the internal “era of good feeling” that was forged during Tom Carroll’s first presidency in the mid-1980s. It was achieved by the transformation of the MAC Board of Trustees from a “working board” to a “policy board,” and the prevalence of a spirit of mutual respect and partnership between the Board

- 12 - 12 -

and staff. Much credit for this ongoing harmony belonged to the successive presidencies of Marianne Schatz (1989-1991) and John Bailey (1992-94).

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.

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.

In 1990, MAC introduced successful Sherlock Holmes Weekends in March and November. This phase also saw a continued expansion of Christmas programming.

Part of this “season-stretching” was accomplished with an expanding roster of partners. Starting in 1990 and running 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. 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. 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 May-Lewes Ferry and a shuttle bus to a MAC trolley tour.

This phase has also saw several giant steps forward in MAC’s administration of the Cape May Lighthouse. The 19891990 refurbishing of the tower windows and doors and the Oil House was followed by a $600,000 federally and state funded restoration of the lantern and repainting of the tower in its original colors in 1993-1994.

THE GOLDEN AGE (1995-2002)

Building on the accomplishments of the first quarter century, MAC experienced a Golden Age in the years 1995-2002, owing to four factors: the cresting of the national enthusiasm for Victoriana

and Bed-and-Breakfast inns; the enlightened Board leadership of Presidents Elan Zingman-Leith (1995-97), Tom Carroll’s second term (1998-2000) and Ed Henry (2001-2003); a massive infusion of State grant funding; and a significant increase in the size and quality of MAC’s professional staff.

A key factor behind MAC’s growing professionalism was the emergence in 2000 of huge 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 that decade, which, in turn, accelerated many advances in the infrastructure needed to deliver MAC’s wide range of public programs.

The Golden Age saw ever more ambitious additions to our schedule of tours and events. We continued to expand the Christmas season, with the number of Candlelight House Tours increased 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 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).

An ever-growing roster of partners continued to drive much of this increase in programming.

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. 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; and providing marketing outreach and ticket sales for area theater companies.

The Golden Age was truly one for our historic sites.

At the Physick Estate, we undertook a systematic re-interpretation of the interior and grounds, taking into account the latest historical scholarship. The Physick Estate Carriage House was rescued from its languishing condition and, after a major 1996-1997 overhaul, was converted to a multipurpose facility.

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13)

evident decline in public enthusiasm for historic sites, in general, and the Victorian period, in particular. 3) The great real estate bubble of the ‘00s led to the loss of a substantial number of Cape May’s Bed and Breakfast inns (long MAC’s most ardent partners); and in the Wildwoods, the rampant demolition of vintage motels and diners led MAC to suspend its 15-year effort to interpret this important historic resource.

MAC’s Board and staff have responded to these challenges with admirable fortitude and creativity.

Starting with the Twinings Teapot Collection is the fall of 1997, the Carriage House Gallery (renamed the Carroll Gallery in 2014, in honor of Tom & Sue Carroll) has hosted an array of changing exhibits that have hugely advanced MAC’s museum and educational missions. Then, with corporate sponsorship from Twinings Teas and a grant from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, MAC launched a Tearoom in the summer of 1999 out of the Carriage House horsestalls and adjoining garden patio. The Carriage House Gallery Shop also became another source of audience outreach. Finally after a decade of planning, the historic landscape around the main house was recreated in 2002-03, combined with measures to provide wheelchair access to the house museum.

At the Cape May Lighthouse, an additional $750,000 in federal/state grants led to the complete restoration of the Lighthouse structure in 1997-98. With the revamping of the Lighthouse grounds in 2000-01, this 15-year project was brought to substantial completion. brought to substantial completion.

SHIFTING TECTONIC PLATES (2003 - Present)

For much of the 21st Century, MAC’s upward trajectory has been significantly challenged by the confluence of three adverse factors: 1) The upsurge of State funding in the early years of the century has been reversed by the fiscal crises that have wracked New Jersey since 2002. Over this period, MAC has lost nearly $500,000 in annual operating grants, amounting to more than 10% of its peak budget. 2) After riding the great Victoriana craze of the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s, attendance at MAC’s signature historic sites and house tours has been hard hit by an

Under the successive presidencies of Dave McGonigle (2004-6), Ed Henry (2007), Diane Hutchinson (2008-10), Doug McMain (2011-13) and Mary McKenney (2014-16), the MAC Board has provided just the steady “hand on the tiller” that the organization has needed to weather these choppy seas. Without succumbing to panic, the Board has encouraged the kind of “trial and error” experimentation that has harnessed the creativity and talents of Board and staff members, alike.

Perhaps MAC’s most ambitious undertaking of the ‘00s was our efforts to interpret Cape May’s important World War II history.

The centerpiece of this venture was the successful completion of MAC’s third major restoration project – the World War II Lookout Tower (Fire Control Tower No. 23) on Sunset Boulevard.

After leasing the structure from the State Park Service and raising more than $1 million in grant funding, a year of construction led to the opening of the tower to the public in the spring of 2009.

Annual visitation of some 10,000 has confirmed the wisdom of adding this new historical theme to MAC’s roster of attractions.

A growing recognition of the central role that history plays in MAC’s missions was signaled by our changing the name of the organization in November 2009 to the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities.

The years since then have seen the launching of eight strategic initiatives that have helped sustain the organization through challenging times: 1) Constantly expanding the use of the Physick Estate grounds to attract and serve the public, starting with the Victorian Family Fair and various crafts shows, and adding first Scarecrow Alley in 2007, then the Craft Beer & Crab Festival in 2012, REV’s Theatre programs and the Harvest Brew Fest in 2015, the Hops Festival in 2016 and the Sip Into Spring Festival in 2018.

2) Constantly expanding the use of the Lighthouse grounds to attract and serve the public, starting with the National Lighthouse Day celebration, and adding Family Fun Days at the

14 --- 14

Lighthouse (now every Wednesday from July through midAugust), the Lighthouse Challenge of New Jersey (in October) and Christmas in July on July 25.

3) Constantly expanding the use of the Café & Tearoom to attract and serve the public, starting with Bach’s Lunches, and adding Jazz Brunches, summertime kids breakfasts (with Pirates and Fairy Tales) and Halloween programs.

4) Switching the thrust of the Carroll Gallery exhibits, from more academic, object-based exhibits (e.g., clocks, teapots, Victorian glass) to community-oriented exhibits that connect us with different constituencies in town (e.g., the Chalfonte Hotel, firefighting, Alice Steer Wilson’s watercolors).

5) Recognizing the declining interest in Victoriana by tilting our October programming from a 10-day Victorian Week to primarily Halloween, replacing our historic inns tours with ones that have current appeal (Designer House Tours, Kitchen Tours, Garden Tours) while sustaining 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 five Friends groups (with their wide array of “grass roots” programs) – for the Physick Estate, Lighthouse, World War II Lookout Tower, Music Festival and Museum Education -- to the

Lessons of History Team and volunteer engagement with the Physick House, Museum Division and Physick Estate grounds.

7) Developing innovative and aggressive marketing programs to carry our message to the widest possible public, with increasing use of electronic media (especially Social Media and email outreach).

8) An intensive re-branding project, involving Board and staff leadership working closely with Princeton Strategic Communications, resulting in the March 2020 launch of a new name for the organization – Cape May MAC (Museums + Arts + Culture).

In its first 50 years, MAC has been a major force behind Cape May’s dramatic rebirth. As of 2020, with strong Board leadership, a membership base of 3,500, an annual audience of close to 300,000 and a staff of 150 (25 full-time and 125 part-time employees, making us one of Cape May’s largest employers), Cape May MAC stands poised to help Cape May sustain its preservation success story for years to come.
