At Historic Cold Spring Village in Cape May, New Jersey, visitors get a first-hand feel for the age of homespun (1789-1840). Open seasonally (from June to September), the art of homesteading is on display throughout its 30 acres of lanes, gardens and farms. In addition to the working, organic farm, exhibits include early print presses and print production, woodworking, pottery, wool-spinning and bookbinding. The Village is located on Route 9, three miles north of Cape May City.
