The Civil War monument in Phillipsburg's Shappen Park lists
the major battles, mostly won by the North. The three mortars, one of which
saw service in the siege of Vicksburg, have been recently refurbished.
Terry
Lee, Randy Piazza & Scott Curzi were joking around
before the start of the parade that opened the Ole Towne Festival on
Saturday morning. Terry is the leader of the Historical Society in Harmony,
Randy is Vice President of the Phillipsburg Society, and Scott is the
driving force behind the restoration of the Roseberry house. Terry also
led the several dozen motorcycles that kicked off the parade from the
parking lot of the Middle School, so we were right in the middle of things.
Dave
Dech, Warren County Planning Director, is mostly hidden
in this photo, as he and _____, with some running advice from Scott
Curzi erected
a sign showing the three canals—the Morris, Lehigh and Delaware— that
meet at Phillipsburg/Easton. It's located by the boat ramp, if you
want to take a look.
John
Torkos is a British infantryman re-enactor from Hackettstown.
His knowledge of the Revolutionary period is impressive, and he had done
his homework on the Roseberry house. His explanation of his uniform and
equipment fascinated all on the first day of the Ole Towne Festival.
This
1824 barn was one of the structures of the Hoff-VanNatta farmstead
in Harmony Township open to the public late in October.The interior
timbers are huge, and there are a dozen fascinating details, including
the date stone.
. The early
music of Ireland was performed by Teresa
Couture and her
group (sorry guys, but I didn't get your names). The parlor of the house
worked just fine (though a little humid for the drumhead) when rain threatened.
Later in the afternoon, the Sonas group (mainly from
Bergen County) enchanted us with the music of Cape Breton, and Ed
Saultz,
Terry ___ & Mike ____ regaled us
with the stories behind the traditional jigs and ballads of Ireland.
There were several
people in period costumes for the Hoff-VanNatta open house, including these
two "veterans" of the French & Indian War. Andy
Drysdale,
curator of the Shippen Manor in Oxford is on the right; his companion's
name is unknown to us, but we;ll get it in here if we get a call from ndy.
Kim
Newell and Russ Cole rattled the windows and floors of the Roseberry
house when they came indoors with the fife and drum. Scott Curzi then
lead them on a march through Walters Park, picking up additional visitors
to the house. Seems like that has the makings of an annual event.
