Van Campen's Inn

The Van Campen Inn stands as a fieldstone residence along the Delaware River, featuring colonial architecture with thick stone walls and multiple fireplaces.

During the French and Indian War in 1763, the building provided refuge to 150 settlers who sought protection within its fortified structure.

The inn represents Dutch colonial settlement patterns through its architectural elements, including its distinctive stone construction methods and interior layout.

The museum opens for guided tours on weekends from May through October, allowing visitors to explore the preserved rooms and historical artifacts.

General Casimir Pulaski and his cavalry regiment spent the winter of 1778 at the inn during the American Revolutionary War campaign.
