The Castle Inn was the last of the great resorts built in the Borough of Delaware Water Gap which saw over 500,000 visitors a year at the turn of the century. Delaware Water Gap was the playground for the socialites of New York City and Philadelphia that traveled there by train. This tour will take you back to 1906 when Dimmick Daniel Drake built the Castle Inn. The Inn saw many fruitful years from thousands of guests, John Philip Sousa playing in the famed Music Hall to the 1930s when the Castle was used as a training ground for Madison Square Garden boxers. Fred Waring bought the Inn in 1952 and made it the home of his vast music empire. In 2005, the Castle was bought by Frank and Theresa Paccione who have been refurbishing it to its former grandeur.
