Lower Township's Historic Cold Spring Village, a collection of
authentic buildings from around Cape May County, has preserved the
essence of everyday life in southern New Jersey much as it was in the
1800s.
A living history, outdoor museum on 22 acres, the village is
named for a once-popular spring of cold water on Route 9 that refreshed
weary travelers passing through the area during the early days of the
county.
Train service from the Village to the County Zoo adds even more
interest to a day at the Village and free concerts are held every
Saturday evening through the summer.

Across from the Village on the Seashore Road side, tours
of Cold Spring Presbyterian Church and its nearby historic cemetery are
conducted throughout the summer. A log cabin was built on the site in 1718 and
the present church, called "Old Brick," dates back to 1823 and is a National
Historic Landmark Site. The cemetery is the final resting place for many
Mayflower descendants, seafaring men, children who died in epidemics and heroes
from every war.
The Cape May Canal, built during World War II to link the
Delaware Bay with the Atlantic Ocean, provides boating enthusiasts with a
convenient and scenic route to Cape May Harbor and access to the Intracoastal
Waterway.
The Cape May Lewes Ferry crosses Delaware Bay from its terminal in Lower
Township to Lewes, Delaware with a fleet of modern ferries that provide
transportation for motorists, cyclists and passengers traveling to and from the
Cape May area. Billed as the Best Boat Ride in America, regularly-scheduled
daily crossings are the perfect way to enjoy a scenic bay cruise.
Lower Township NJ offers great camping facilities, golf courses, bird watching
opportunities and Sunset Beach with its sunken concrete ship and Cape May
diamonds combine with Lower Township’s natural assets to welcome visitors to the
bayside of the Cape May County peninsula for vacation fun and enjoyment.
