Saturday, October 14, 2023
The Friends of the Passaic River Coalition and the Royal Sussex Society have partnered to host a living history day on the grounds of the beautiful Italianate Gothic revival Willow Hall in Morristown!
The event will be held on Saturday, October 14, 2023, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Willow Hall, 330 Speedwell Avenue, Morristown, NJ 07960.
On October 15, 1839, Queen Victoria proposed to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, her true love. Their union would define 19th Century society. When Albert died in 1861, she spent the rest of her life in mourning.
