Celebrating the "Summer White House"

CAPE MAY, N.J. (WPVI) -- A South Jersey icon opened up a window to its storied history Thursday.

Fifth graders from Margaret Mace School paid a visit to Congress Hall in Cape May, dressed up as past American Presidents.

Congress Hall was dubbed the Summer White House by President Benjamin Harrison, and was also a favorite summer destination of Presidents Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan and Ulysses Grant.

The hotel is now celebrating its bicentennial year.
