The station was donated to Historic Cold Spring Village, a history museum in Lower Township, and it was moved to the museum site in 1975. It now operates as a seasonal heritage railroad station for the Cape May Seashore Lines.[3] The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 13, 2007. In the summer of 2013, the Cape May Seashore Lines operated Gas-powered speeder cars from Cold Spring Station to approximately one mile south on the line for the public. Since scrap vandals ravaged tracks from Woodbine to Dennisville in the summer of 2012, no locomotives or railcars have been able to operate to Cold Spring Station or points farther south since 2011.

History | |

This list is incomplete. Some areas considered to be Rio Grande are in Lower Township though the census-designated place (CDP) itself is in Middle Township. Cape Christian Academy formerly had campuses in Lower Township. St. Raymond Catholic School merged into Our Lady Star of the Sea in Cape May which merged into what became Wildwood Catholic Academy. |
