The hands down BEST beers in the area - blows other local breweries out of the water in terms of tastiness of beers. Also had a small but great food menu, which is always a plus.
Historic village open to the public all year long. Special events throughout the year. All of the older structures on site have been brought to the village to display. Some buildings of note are the country store, school house, the inn and the blacksmith shop. Ask for Levy, he’s a good ole horse that takes happy visitors around the village in a cute carriage. Great place to explore, have fun and get historical vibes.
Buy the family pass at the beginning of the season if you live anywhere close and have kids. They have so many themed weekends. My kids' favorite 2 weekends are Seafarers (pirate) weekend and Hands-on History weekend. (Pics from today's Seafarers)
We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Everyone we encountered were very friendly and informative about the buildings and activities that went on during the time period. The kids had a great time running from house to house discovering new things. The ice cream and bakery were nice places to take a break and have a treat. Loved the general store too with souvenirs and handmade pieces from the volunteers that craft there.
Historic Cold Spring Village
This historic place is very interesting because the administration of the city of Cape May removed 18 houses from their original places with different representations such as a grocery store, bakery, ceramics, school, police station, carpentry shop, bars, among others, and placed them all within a historic center that it is open to visits. The city's care in preserving its history is very honorable. Congratulations

Loved this historical village. To get the most of the experience talk to the tradesmen and women. Don't forget to stop at the general store, they sell lots of vintage products, candies you haven't seen in a long time. Big bonus, they sell the products made the previous day by the tradespeople. Very cool. Handmade note books, handmade tools, pottery, etc.
So cute and adorable place to visit! Went there with my boyfriend today and it was lovely. I loved how into detail and accurate everything was at this place. I didn’t have a chance to go to the brewery, though, I wouldn’t change anything about todays visit! It’s amazing how much history is preserved here. I will definitely have to go back one day to check out everything else. I also was able to purchase an adorable basket that was handmade there by one of the girls who used to work there. Can’t wait to use it for one of my future picnics. You can use credit cards or cash to purchase anything there.
