Black Legacy in Historic Cape May Trolley Tour

This tour celebrates Cape May’s Black history as an essential part of its National Historic Landmark status. In 2024, documentation of the Black community’s contributions led to Congress approving the updated designation, originally based on Cape May’s vast collection of late 19th- and early 20th-century wood-frame buildings. Hear these newly documented stories and see the homes, businesses, churches, and schools that showcase the community’s innovation and resilience.
