The Franklin Inn, a former tavern constructed in 1734 on the stagecoach route from New York to Philadelphia, served as headquarters for British General Cornwallis for five days in 1777. A fine example of eighteenth century Dutch architecture, the building now houses the 20,000 volume Blackwells Mills Canal House Association library and serves as a used book store.
