Displayed also from the Museum's collection, 15 restored samplers from 1789 to 1856 and most were worked by young women of Cape May County. The Samplers are on display until September 7th.

Month-long exhibit titled Oh! Freedom. Oh! Freedom is the story of black soldiers in the Revolutionary War. There were blacks who served in every major battle (and there were quite a few) in New Jersey. This exhibit not only covers the black soldiers in the Continental Army, but also those who chose to serve in the British Army as a way to gain their freedom. The exhibit will be on display the month of October.

Please visit our "Special Exhibits" Page. We are featuring Military Uniforms on display through November 11th., Veteran's Day. The Museum's collection of Uniforms are from the Spanish American War to Desert Storm.
