Unknown Faces of Our County

Welcome to a page full of early county residents that have yet to be identified!

Many photo albums have been donated to the Museum of Cape May County over the last century. This page includes all the unidentified individuals included in the albums, with dates ranging from the early-mid 1800s to the 1930's. Our goal is to give names to the individuals in photos, and we need your help! 

Take a look to see if there are any familiar faces, and let us know if you recognize anyone.

To see more of the named individuals, head over to the Early Faces of Our County page!
