Victorian
Charm, Gas-lit Streets and Historic Villages
Leaming's
Run Gardens in Swainton features 30 acres of breath-taking colors, while
scenic Bridgeton's largest historical district features a myriad of colonial,
victorian and federalist architecture. Historic Cold Spring Village is
a 22-acre, 18th-century farm village and in Millville, be sure to visit
Wheaton Village with its glass exhibits and live demonstrations. The Wildwoods
offers non-stop excitement and 1950's 'Doo Wop' preservation from Chinese
pagoda and thatched roofs to Elvis motifs and space-age style. In Ocean
City-"America's Greatest Family Resort", don't miss the "Nights
in Venice" parade, a lighted flotilla of boats of all sizes and shapes
that parade through the back bays.
Victorian
Cape May is America's oldest seaside resort. It features more than 600
meticulously-restored Victorian buildings, gas-lit streets, distinctive
B&Bs, unique shops and of course "Painted Ladies." Special
events range from music, food and wine festivals to October's celebrated
Victorian week, to the magic that aptures Cape May during the holidays.
Ferris Wheels, Jazz Festivals, Miss Crustacean Pageants, Kite competitions
and Harvest Celebrations are all part of the year round celebration here.
Travel by trolley, tall ship or horse drawn carriage. Dine on 'Jersey
Fresh' produce, the catch of the day or good old-fashioned cotton candy.
