Our September 1830s Victorian event at Long Pond Ironworks was a great success! Our thanks to Nathan Bedford in particular, the Friends of Long Pond Ironworks, the West Milford Players, and the staff of Ringwood State Park, and the sponsors for making a fantastic day. Our original Victorian Day was planned for May but had been washed out by rain. We were lucky that this time the weather was beautiful. A one-day program, we had crafters, artisans, and musicians as well as our own military demonstrations by the 35th (Royal Sussex) Regiment with our civilians. We were also joined by a former enemy, now friend, an ex-dragoon of the late Napoleon Bonaparte. We conducted drills and demonstrations throughout the day and enjoyed our dinner at DeMarco's Pizzeria after, which donated part of the proceeds to the site. At night, we were part of the Candle Lantern Tours which brought visitors from station to station with the West Milford Players putting on vignettes. All in all, a top notch event!
