Period Music filled the ballroom as Kingsland Manor Celebrated ‘Colonial Day’ in Nutley

NUTLEY, NJ – It was a real treat to witness Nutley’s rich and vibrant history that was on display during the second annual Colonial Day Celebration and Open House on Sunday afternoon at Kingsland Manor.

The event, which saw residents young and old alike get immersed in the experience, including music of the period was sponsored by Nutley Educational Foundation.

“We have music in the ballroom, marble making in the parlor, and basket weaving in the dining room,” said Theresa Kish. “We have silhouettes right here in our office and we believe that was the office used by Joseph Kingsland.”

“We do early American music, specializing in late 18th century music,” said Vincz. “We are time travelers, so we do various time periods. I guess you could say we are time traveling rock stars. We both really love history.”

Vincz and Lichack were decked out head-to-toe in full, authentic colonial garb.

“I went to Montclair Stare University for music education and that’s where I studied the harpsichord,” Lichack said. “Another thing we do is that I have a flute and drum corps, I teach about 10 students, and we perform at different historic sites, parades and libraries.”
