Emlen Physick Estate

Interesting place to visit, rich with historical facts about and influences of the Victorian era on our current culture, as explained by the tour guide. If you've taken for granted (like me) the history of the ubiquitous Christmas Tree during the Holidays & how it became such an icon of American Christmas tradition, here is a place where one can learn it. I saw it as part of a trolley tour in the evening, showcasing Victorian homes & their Christmas decor. And part of the trolley tour includes a guided tour of the home's interior. However, I recommend seeing it in the day as well (drive-by is OK).

Coolest place to visit during Halloween and Christmas. The history is amazing and we always have a great time visiting this great landmark.

Very pretty building. Wish the tour guides we're not so cranky. Guess it was a long day.

I love to visit here. Each time is a new, exciting history lesson on the Victorian era. All of the people are extremely knowledgeable about how Dr. Physick and his family lived and played.

The house is beautiful, and having Emily there in costume was very nostalgic. It brought a lot to the whole experience of going through the house and hearing about people's lives and how they lived in Cape May in Victorian times. Cape May is a beautiful city now and it must have been Much More Beautiful then. Quiet street is a real treat now, you don't get that anymore in a small town.
