The Doctor is in! Victorian medicine & more on the 2023 Physick Estate House Tour

The Doctor is In! Emlen Physick Estate Tour

This year's Emlen Physick Estate House Tour is "The Doctor is In!" Despite never practicing medicine, Dr. Emlen Physick meaningfully affected the Cape May medical community. Take a guided tour of the first and second floors of the 1879 Physick House Museum for an in-depth look at Victorian architecture and the period and learn about Dr. Physick and his influence around town and common health practices, around the turn of the 20th century. The tour ends at the Carriage House’s Carroll Gallery where you can see this year’s main exhibit, titled "Quackery: The Age of Questionable Medical Marvels," which displays some of the wacky and questionable "curatives" of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Purchase tickets here.
