Riverside Fall Festival Along the History Trail, November 2, 2024

At Ramsaysburg, Explore Warren History Trail visitors will enjoy the annual Fall Festival as well as docent tours of the grounds on Saturday, November 2.

Visit Ken’s Famous Apple Tent to taste an assortment of locally-grown apples, as well as cider pressed on-site, as well as other local artisans, farmers and vendors. As always, visitors can enjoy the natural allure of the property, exchange stories around the firepit, and relish magnificent seasonal views along Delaware River. Pets are welcome on a leash.

Ramsaysburg is one of fifteen historic sites along the 2024 Explore Warren History Trail and will offer visitors tours of the grounds and most of the buildings on the grounds which illustrate the site’s role in New Jersey’s frontier era and the heritage of Knowlton Township.

The Ramsaysburg Homestead is a twelve-acre historical park along the Delaware River in Knowlton Township. The property and the structures on it—a tavern, barn, cottage, smokehouse and shed—were built from 1800 to 1870, and represent the activity that occurred at the homestead during its heyday. A natural amphitheater stretches from the historic structure to the bank of the Delaware River, a serene setting for picnics. 

The Ramsaysburg Homestead is located on Route 46 east at the intersection with Ramseyburg Rd. in Delaware, NJ. For more information please check the website, www.ramsaysburg.org or on Facebook.

Marc Douglas Berardo and Walt Wilkins

Saturday September 28 4PM

Two musical storytellers weave their tales at the September 28 Summer Concerts Series performance.

Marc Douglas Berardo

Marc Douglas Berardo’s songs mine the deep feelings and lessons gleaned from real-life characters and situations. It’s his songs combined with an onstage presence that uses humor and deft storytelling to rally an audience and lead them into a deep and sometimes spiritual experience. It’s an adventure that brings to mind James Taylor, Jimmy Buffett, Guy Clark, or Steely Dan with a touch of Mark Twain or Hunter S. Thompson for good measure. After thirty years of bars, theaters, house concerts, and festivals as well as a boatload of song awards and national recognition, Berardo has established himself as the real deal.

Walt Wilkins

Hailing from Texas, and on the road for 25 years, Walt Wilkins has made nine solo records, four records with The Mighty Mystiqueros, and one with his wife Tina.  He’s had 100 or more songs recorded by other artists, and traveled a fair part of the world.

Bring your lawn chairs, blankets, picnic baskets and coolers and join us in this wonderful pristine setting. Pets on leashes are permitted. Music begins at 4pm, gates open at 3pm. Parking is limited, so please arrive early. Gates open one hour before showtime.

The concert is made possible with generous support from the Warren County Cultural and Heritage Division of the Department of Land Preservation, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
