Fall 2008

Fall is the perfect time of the year to visit Cape May. But whether you are close or far, Cape May Magazine’s Fall issue will keep you in touch. This issue has interviews with Cape May legend Bud Swain of Swain’s Hardware and summer son and NFL, All-Pro defensive end Patrick Kerney. And Bill Godfrey’s feature, Belle of the Ball, on The Southern Mansion is a must read not only for the anecdotes but the quotes from owner Barbara Bray Wilde. Both are priceless. And speaking of the Swains, they were among the county’s founding families. Karen Fox tells the story of our Whaling Pioneers. Also, be sure to read Biking the Island: The Roads Less Taken. It’ll inspire you to set forth and trail your own favorite bike paths. This and so much more.
