Come out and Celebrate an important day at the Village - the BIRTHDAY of our founder, Mr. James P. Allaire!
Mr. Allaire bought the property we now call the "Historic Village at Allaire" in 1822. Here he would create the largest iron-producing site in the State of NJ during the 1830s. The manufacturing of iron thrived largely due to the expansive self-sufficient industrial community that Mr. Allaire planned out. In honor of our founder's birthday please enjoy special historical demonstrations, children's games/activities, tours of the historic homes and craft shops, and MORE!
The day includes:
Sign a birthday for James. P. Allaire! Games on the Green with water races! At 1PM, we deliver a toast to Mr. Allaire at the General Store – then, at 1:30, retire to his home for a piece of cake and a tour.
In purchasing your General Admission Ticket, you will be able to see our historic trades in action including our blacksmiths and tinsmiths as well as tour our period homes to see how each class in the village lived. All of this, in addition to themed pop-up tours and demonstrations, is available to you when you visit The Historic Village at Allaire!
