I Remember Ringwood by Louis P. West, Sr. The North Jersey Highlands Historical Society is pleased to announce the transcription and publication of, as a local- history resource document, the late Louis P. West’s oral history, I Remember Ringwood, which he recorded directly onto audio tapes for the Society in 1973. Mr. West’s narrative recounted his memories of the old Ringwood mining operation, the Ringwood Manor estate, and the Long Pond Ironworks area (Old Hewitt) in neighboring West Milford, during the 1920s-1940s. Both Ringwood Manor and the Long Pond Ironworks District are now historic sites in the New Jersey State Park system. Researchers who are interested in obtaining a copy should contact the Society at the address on the bottom of this page and provide your postal address. A large-print version of the transcript is also available. This project was funded, in part, by the Passaic County Cultural and Heritage Council at Passaic County Community College, through a general operating support grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission, a division of the Department of State.
