Victorian Spring Opener Returns to Ringwood

5/2/2022

Before the Great Plague struck, the 35th had had small events at Ringwood Manor to coincide with the opening of the spring season--often in tandem with a Victorian baseball game being held on the grounds.  This year, we were able to bring that back, and this year was our biggest Opener to date!  With 10 members of the Society present, plus some late-Victorian guests, we ran a late 1830s display with all the trappings Victoriana.  Our redcoats made a fine showing, as did our ladies, and we talked with visitors about the era in which Ringwood Manor was occupied by the Ryerson family, before passing to the Hewitts in the 1850s.

With beautiful weather, we were delighted to be back at Ringwood after such a long hiatus.  This was also the first time we brought the early Victorian impression to the grounds of the manor and we were well-received!
