Historic Cold Spring Village
has something for everyone.
Historic Cold Spring Village
is an Early American open-air
living history museum. The
Village brings to life the
day-to-day activities of
villagers living in South
Jersey during the “age of
homespun.” (1790-1840). Visitors
can make a personal connection
between the past and present
through the interactive,
educational, and hands-on family
activities. Take a stroll along
our 22 acres of shaded lanes,
enjoy the gardens and observe
the farm where heritage crops
are grown; visit twenty-six
restored antique buildings
housing historically-clothed
interpreters, who educate and
entertain visitors about the
lifestyles, issues, trades and
crafts of yesteryear.
Children enjoy playing at the
activity area where they take
part in a variety of projects
such as trying on costumes,
participating in hands-on crafts
and playing games. |
Living history for 25 years!
