The Cape May Lighthouse was originally staffed by keepers who worked for the U.S. Lighthouse Service. Cape May’s lighthouse generally had one head keeper and two assistants. They carried oil to the top of the tower every day to power the light, and kept the lens apparatus clean and in working order.

Keepers’ pay averaged $600 a year around the turn of the 20th century.

Busy hands

So many women’s activities of the mid and late 19th century served to show that they were middle class. Making artificial flowers was one of these. Both time-consuming and useless, making artificial flowers proved that your husband’s income made it possible for you to do no housework. Along with disabling clothing and countless crafts, flower-making was a visible sign of middle-class-ness. The conventions of the time made women almost literally prisoners in their parlors.

Watch what you say

The completion of the first telephone system in the spring of 1895 certainly made things easier. With a manager and two operators, the exchange was open from 6 a.m. to midnight, with a pay station in West Cape May and another at Schellenger’s Landing. It cost 10 cents to use the phone. Phones could be put in private homes for $16 per year, and in business places for $30 per year. Of course, if a subscriber used profane language while speaking on the phone, it would be removed immediately.

Shakespeare FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!

AT THE ESTATE

On the Outdoor Stage at the Emlen Physick Estate, 1048 Washington St., Cape May

“Comedy of Errors” July 14-18 & 21-25: 6PM

One of Shakespeare’s earliest and most vibrant comedies, “Comedy of Errors,” is a zany, madcap romp of mistaken identities. Take two pairs of identical twins, a jealous wife and her love-struck sister, a greedy merchant, a father whose head will be chopped off at sunset, a dim-witted courtesan, a stolen necklace, one angry nun, a greasy kitchen wench and an exorcist. Add in Shakespeare’s brilliant, sparkling language, spiced up with musical surprises, and the result is a concoction of delightful lunacy and farcical delirium.

Bring your lawn chair or blanket, arrive early and enjoy a FREE Elizabethan Faire (4:30pm-6pm), featuring comedy, music, dancing, performers and a special appearance by the King and Queen.

Tickets: $25 Adults; $20 Seniors; $15 Students (15 and older); Free for kids under 15 A REV Theatre Production, in association with the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities (MAC)

What to do on a rainy day!

What? No sunshine? That’s OK, because it’s time to take a break from sand and sun anyway and see what else Cape May has to offer. We promise you, there are so many fun things to do, you’ll be glad for the clouds and raindrops!

CAPE MAY LIGHTHOUSE

EMLEN PHYSICK ESTATE

Take the kids to The Keeper’s on Duty on Sundays at 11 a.m. and Lighthouse Storytime on Sundays at 12Noon in the Education Center in Cape May Point State Park. Free admission. Pg. 43

Make it a family tradition to climb this working Lighthouse. It’s 199 steps to the top, but worth it for the breathtaking view of the Jersey Cape (and just to say you did it!) Pg. 9

LIGHTHOUSE LORE

No visit to Cape May is complete without a visit to the Emlen Physick Estate on Washington Street. This 1879 restored mansion is Cape May’s only Victorian house museum, and tours of the estate can be combined with trolley tours of the city, as well. Step back into the past on a tour of this marvelous mansion, or combine a visit with a trolley tour of the Historic District for a total Cape May experience. Pgs. 6 & 7

MAC TROLLEY TOURS

You’ll find a wide array of trolley tours throughout the day, with something sure to interest everybody in the family. There are trolleys that explore Cape May’s history and architecture. There are evening tours that delve into the spirit world and Cape May’s “dearly departed” who haven’t quite left, and trolley tours to introduce you to all that Cape May has to offer. See calendar.

MORE HOUSE TOURS

Visit the beautiful Angel of the Sea B&B, Cape May’s famous “mobile home”...find out why it got that name, Pg. 40 or take the guided Cherry House Haunting Tales & Investigation Tour, Pg. 37, and listen as the owners tell of the home’s ghostly inhabitants.

WORLD WAR II LOOKOUT TOWER

Relive the homeland defense efforts on the Jersey Cape as you climb to the sixth floor spotting gallery at New Jersey’s last freestanding World War II Tower. Pg. 8

AUDIO TOURS

For the “do-it-yourselfers,” there are Selfguided Audio Tours of the Historic District that come complete with a map, an index to dozens of historic buildings, and an informative audio that provides details on the city’s history and architectural styles. Pg. 29

SELF-GUIDED WINE TRAIL

Sip and swirl at your own pace on the Selfguided Wine Trail and spend the afternoon touring wineries in Cape May County and taste the unique flavors at each. Or try the Self-Guided Wine & Brewery Trail! Pg. 89

FAMILY TREASURE HUNT

By car, by bike or on foot, this is a fun tour for the whole family and will introduce you to the history and architecture of Cape May. Pg. 30

CAPE MAY ON CANVAS

See the watercolors of one of Cape May’s most beloved artists, Alice Steer Wilson, in the Carroll Gallery, in the Carriage House at the Physick Estate. Pg. 41

That’s just for starters. Check the Calendar and you’ll see why -- rain or shine -- Cape May is the perfect vacation spot for the whole family. Enjoy!!!
