The Inn, located on Old Mine Road in Walpack Township within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, boasts some of the finest examples of woodwork and hardware of its period (mid-1740’s) in Sussex County. It was known as a hot spot of activity during the French and Indian War and a gathering place for well-known patriots during the fight for independence.
