Victorian house museum complex
Beautiful 1879 mansion and property can be visited as a combination of a guided trolley/PHYSICK ESTATE TOUR but we enjoyed the exclusive experience of Emlen Physick Estate with the visit, dinner at the new Vintage restaurant on the Estate's premises and Sunset Jazz Concert. We got the tickets on line. All activities followed the coronatime precautions. It was a delightful evening in its entirety. Parking was easy and free. Vintage restaurant is great and should be incorporated in your Emlen Physick Estate experience.

Do not miss seeing the mansion when it is decorated for Christmas
I had the best tour for the holidays at the Physick estate. The mansion was so beautifully decorated for the Christmas holidays and the tour guide was especially nice and took her time to explain the stories about the family and the people who lived here. All the rooms were decorated for the Christmas holiday season and there was garland and bows all over the house. The Christmas trees were in several rooms so you got the see the Victorian version, the table top version and the smaller tree version in the bedrooms. The woodwork was decorated with strands of garland and the house itself was decorated with lights, candles, and all sorts of homemade decorations. It looked like the family was preparing for the holidays in each room. The Kitchen and Dining Rooms looked like everything was being prepared for the Christmas meal. There was all sorts of food items out and the menus and recipes were all out so that we could see what the cooks were making for the holidays. The clothes were lined out in the bedrooms so that people knew what to wear and there were all sorts of presents that needed to be wrapped in the bedroom as if the family had just left for a moment. Even the tour guide said that the house was haunted but did not elaborate on it. It is an excellent tour and should not be missed when visiting Cape May.
