Over the American independence weekend, we look at the links our site has to the wars of independence by welcoming reenactors from both the British and American sides of the war. Francis Rawdon Hastings, the Earl of Moira, who founded this area and build the furnace, fought for the British in these wars, giving us a direct link to them.
We cannot promise the peace will be kept over the whole weekend with both sides camping on-site, skirmishes may take place and we just don't know who will come out on top, the British or the Americans. You will have to be down here to find out!
Entrance is free with charges still applied for the museum and boat rides.
