Talk:New York Renaissance Faire

Abandoned places in and near Tuxedo

I've been to the New York Renaissance Faire, in Sterling Forest, Tuxedo, NY. Across the street from the faire is some sort of abandoned motel, and a half-mile away is a huge once-paved field, that can hold several hundred cars. There seems to be the remains of some type of radio or satellite dish at the end far from the road. Does anyone know what these places used to be, or if there are any other abandoned areas nearby?

I've heard that the NYRF was built on the site of an enormous botanical garden from the turn of the century, and would have included that in the article if I had any kind of source to back it up. I was rather hoping that someone with a greater knowledge of the history of the fair and the site would expand on it. Grepowell 22:37, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

The seemingly abandoned motel you are describing is the location of a locally well-known halloween attraction called the Forest of Fear. It is also owned by the same company that owns the Renaissance Fair across the street. I found this listing describing it (accessed March 24 2021). It is no longer in operation as of Halloween 2018 or 2019. This is due to significant structural damage; it is no longer safe. Additionally, the contact listed on this site, Darlene Patrick, is no longer with the organization, and the host website (renfair.com/forestoffear) no longer has an active page for Forest of Fear.Brave Eleanor of Aquitaine (talk) 19:33, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Cleanup

I've started doing cleanup on this article. I removed an image off of the top that does not show the topic very well. I also removed the Village Voice article because it is not very useful. I'm going to do some research and get things moving on here. — HelloAnnyong [ t · c ] 04:00, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

A good start. I've created a category on Commons for the images commons:category:New York Renaissance Faire and marked them for moving to Commons. I tried to do one myself, but can't figure out how to move them. Once the photos are moved, we can add the Commons Category template to this article.
