Next I went from Ringwood Manor just down the road to Skylands Manor. Skylands Manor was a private residence for many years. It then became a campus of Shelton College until it was sold to the state of NJ in 1966. In 1984 it was designated as the state botanical gardens. Several modern additions have been made to the manor house to allow catered events such as weddings and formal dinners to be held there. Unfortunately, between the trees and the size of the house I've never been able to get a satisfactory picture of the manor house.
This is the main entrance to Skylands Manor.

Again very nice. If the pics look familiar to Firepixers who've never been to this place, you might have viewed it on either the big screen or the relatively little screen as scenes for motion pictures, television shows such as The Soprano's and a reality show about the catering service who has the contract for the banquets held here.
