In addition, Chatsworth Club II hoped to spark interest in and funds for the restoration of the local White Horse Inn, a building which has historic links with both the town of Chatsworth and with the cranberry industry. On the National Register of Historic Places, the inn was part of a luxury resort complex founded in 1904 by Prince Ruspoli, a prince of Rome and ambassador to the The Chatsworth Club, as the exclusive Pine Barren retreat was named, drew visitors such as the Astors, Vanderbilts, Biddies, Duponts, Drexels, Morgans, Goulds and PuUtzers until World War 1. Prince RuspoU was also a cranberry grower. AmeUa Green, vice chairperson of Chatsworth Club II, remembers that her father, Alfred Stevenson, hved at White Horse Inn when he managed the bogs for the prince. The irm is the only surviving building of the once famous complex. Chatsworth Club II envisions the structure as a community building and museum after its restoration. The town of Chatsworth sits in the midst of what were once the prince's bogs. Much of this cranberry acreage is now owned by Garfield J. and Mark DeMarco and produces abundantly. Garfield J. DeMarco, one of many who contributed to the day's success, donated the use of his field as the festival site. Alvin Brick Jr. of Brick's Cranberries sold more than 400 lbs. of cranberries, some of which were donated by the Cranberry-Blueberry Experiment Station. Also contributing was Ocean Spray. Cranberry juice, exhibit items, ribbons and prizes of cash and cranberry glass were donated by the organization. A silver trophy for biggest cranbe
