Description:
Jacob Eoff (native of Holland who purchased 500 acres of Pluckemin) built the Pluckemin Inn and the Pluckemin Tavern. The Tavern was the site of many meetings of the “committee of safety” as well as Washington’s Army. It is now roughly the site on which the Pluckemin Inn stands. In fact, General George Washington, our nation’s first President, spent significant time in the village of Pluckemin, New Jersey. On Sunday, January 15, 1777, General Washington was on hand for the burial of Captain William Leslie, son of the Earl of Leven, Scotland. Also at that historic burial were Generals Sullivan, Knox and Dr. Benjamin Rush.
