The enchanting inn sits on the site that once served as a camp during the Revolutionary War. General George Washington, leader of the Continental Army, and 1,200 soldiers stayed in the camp right before the Crossing of the Delaware.

After the Victorian home was built, its basement tunnel stored ammunition for the Continental Army. Its basement and secret staircase made it a natural stop on the Underground Railroad.

While legend tells of a soldier’s remains being found in the home’s chimney, the home itself is said to house the spirit of a former slave – 12-year-old Sarah.

Sarah has most commonly been seen by children and usually by girls. Those who have seen her say that Sarah shares her story as a slave with them and how she made her way to freedom.

Unlike some apparitions in other haunted destinations, Sarah doesn’t slam doors or rifle through guests’ belongings. Instead, she just seems eager to share her story.
