Van Campen's Inn along Old Mine Road in @delwatergapnps in #NewJersey. This fieldstone residence that was used as a "yaugh house." A "yaugh house" was a house that provided shelter and food to travelers. This Georgian structure was built sometime around 1746 by the Rosenkrans family. It also included a kitchen wing which was torn down in 1917 (scarring is visible on the left side of the structure). In 1754, the property was sold to Isaac Van Campen. Isaac Van Campen was a member of the Continental Congress. The structure was heavily restored in the 1980s and is open for tours by @walpackhistory. #nj #njhistory #SpreadTheHistory #nps #nps101 #goparks #nationalpark #nationalparks #nationalparkservice #goparks #americanhistory #nationalparkgeek #travelblog #travelblogger #explore #blog #blogger #beautiful #FYPyes #njspots #delawarewatergap #explorenj #OptOutside #FindYourPark #vancampeninn #oldmineroad #georgian #architecture #archi_ologie (at Walpack Township, New Jersey)
