Roebling
Inn on the Delaware
In the 1800's the Delaware was slowed by a slack-water dam, allowing barges to be pulled across by rope. But timber-rafters on the river had to shoot rapids over the dam, and accidents were frequent. The canal company eventually hired Judge Thomas Ridgway to pay damage claims, and the stately Greek Revival house where he lived and worked is now the Roebling Inn on the Delaware.
The inn, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is run by Donald and JoAnn Jahn, who greet guests with warm smiles and expert local knowledge. Upstairs, comfortable rooms overlook the river and downstairs a cozy parlor, dining nook await you to enjoy their comfort. Outside there is a sloping lawn to the pristine river, where beach chairs await summer. (NY Times)
