The mission of the Greater Cape May Historical Society is to collect, preserve, document , interpret and share the history of the greater Cape May area. The headquarters of this 26year old organization is the Colonial House Museum c 1775, located behind Alexander’s Restaurant and next to Cape May City Hall at 653 ½ Washington St, Cape May. This museum was originally a tavern and the family house of Revolutionary War Patriot Memucan Hughes. The front room features an annually changing exhibit. Other rooms open to the public in this unsung survivor from Cape Island’s very beginning depict a colonial era cooking/eating room and bedroom.
General membership meetings are held the 4th Thursday in the month, 10:30 am, September-June. Unless otherwise notified the meetings are held at the West Cape May Borough Hall and feature a variety of historical programs from lighthouses to antique appraisals. General meetings are open to the public.
