Carroll Gallery Exhibit Black Legacy of Historic Cape May: January 16 - April 12, 2026. Cape May. Carriage House, Emlen Physick Estate, 1048 Washington St. Cape May was home to one of the East Coast’s most significant Black communities. From the late 1800s through the mid-20th century, Black residents built thriving businesses, worked in tourism, and welcomed visitors, even during the Great Depression and World War II. The town also hosted influential figures like Marian Anderson, Paul Robeson, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Martin Luther King, Jr., leaving a legacy of culture, activism, and resilience. This exhibit explores that rich history and includes a new, original painting by local artist Chanelle Rene’, bringing the stories of Cape May’s Black community vividly to life. Hours vary.
