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 organization, incorporated in August, 1974, is the Colonial House Museum c 1775, located at 653½ Washington Street, Cape May, next to City Hall and behind Alexander’s Restaurant. This museum was originally a tavern and the family house of Revolutionary War Patriot Memucan Hughes. The front room features a tavern room. 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. A room, added in the 1930’s, is a research/exhibit room
