THE BRINCKERHOFF INN

The Brinckerhoff House was built in 1718 by and the home of Col. Dirck Brinckerhoff. The Brinckerhoff home still stands proudly in the same site as it did in the Revolution, a historical rarity. Up until 2015 this house had remained in the Brinckerhoff family for 297 years. In 2015 it was purchased and renovated to become The Brinckerhoff Inn Bed and Breakfast. Each room is uniquely designed and decorated for the utmost comfort and bring you back in time with its décor.  Very few mansions in the Hudson Valley offer the opportunity to sleep in the same Home as George Washington, and many others.

The Brinckerhoff House is rich in history. Major General Marquis de Lafayette, "one of America's most distinguished soldiers", was nursed back to health in the Brinckerhoff home in November and December of 1778. It is said that George Washington had ridden many miles to check frequently and comfort the ailing Frenchman at the Brinckerhoff House.

George Washington is known to have slept at the Brinckerhoff house on multiple occasions. The home became known as a "famous stopping place for travelers on the road between New York City and Kingston". Thousands of troops traveling between New York and New England passed the home. Washington, Alexander Hamilton and Baron von Steuben watched from the house as thousands of British and German prisoners were marched from Boston to Virginia in November of 1778. Many dignitaries have stayed at the Brinckerhoff house, in addition to Washington and Lafayette, including General Alexander McDougall, Governor George Clinton, General Henry Knox, Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, Benedict Arnold, Alexander Hamilton, General Putnam, General Greene, General Gates, John Adams and John Jay.

George Washington was actually at the Brinckerhoff house having breakfast on the morning he found out of Benedict Arnold's betrayal.
