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.

Reenactors and visitors alike are invited to Willow Hall to join in an outdoor celebration of Her Majesty's engagement.

The redcoats of the 35th Royal Sussex Regiment will set up an encampment and fire a celebratory volley for the Queen.  Ladies and gentlemen can expect lawn games and 1830s merriment in this unique living history event to commemorate one of history's most famous marriages.

Reenactors are welcome and encouraged but MUST register in advance by using the form below.

Important Notice for Reenactors!

Reenactors must reasonably conform to a look appropriate to October of 1839.

Ladies and gentlemen must fall in line with styles of the mid-to-late 1830s. 

Military personnel may be period-correct British or "visiting foreign guests."

US Civil War impressions are not permitted.
