Van Campen Inn/Van Campen Day
Built around 1746, Van Campen Inn (above, middle) is one of the oldest homes in the recreation area, and has been restored by the National Park Service. Van Campen Inn is located 5 miles south of Peters Valley NJ, on the original roadbed of Old Mine Road. (The roadbed is dirt but is passable for cars.) Walpack Historical Society opens this house on Sundays in summer. Hours may vary.
Van Campen Day is a yearly event, usually planned for the third Sunday in October. (Check the Park Calendar of Events for the exact date) The celebration can includes tours of the inn, hikes along Military Trail, craft demonstrations, and an army encampment, all on the grounds of Van Campen Inn.
