Every year around the holidays, Cambridge, Ohio holds a themed weekend centered around a reenactment of a visit from Queen Victoria. This year, 'Queen Victoria Weekend' featured a reenactment of an authentic Victorian-era funeral ceremony in a window-lit hilltop mansion, where actors demonstrated some of the time period's bizarre traditions of mourning after a death.
