Take a break from the beach by visiting Emlen Physick Estate, a Victorian house/museum designed by notable American architect Frank Furness. Constructed in 1879, the mansion contains 19 fully restored rooms, allowing visitors a peek into the lifestyle of an affluent Victorian family. Designed in the "Stick Style" of architecture--noted for its use of vertical beams on the outside walls--the mansion served as a primary residence for a local physician who was the owner of the first automobile in Cape May. The exterior of the house features oversized chimneys, hooded dormers, and stick-like porch brackets, considered Furness' trademarks. The estate includes a tearoom and gift shop. Check the website for information on a combination ticket that includes the house tour and a trolley ride through the Cape May historic district.

Wonderful experience. Tour guide was excellent and estate really gives you a feeling that another presence or energy spirit is there. It is a must visit if you have the time. Look for the ghostly Orbs in your photos when you are done. Book in advance.

Awesome tour! Do the combo Trolley and Estate tour, we'll worth the extra few dollars! Very informative and interesting guides!
