In 1907, Charles R. Cady – at the young age of 25 – purchased Levi Thorp’s Cupola House and 100 acres of farm and orchard land. In 1911, Cady added the Manny farm, which was north along County E, to bring his village land holdings to 130 acres, and he named it Hillcrest. The Cady family has summered and vacationed in Egg Harbor for 114 years – so far.
