| BEEKMAN ARMS | |
| "America's Oldest Inn" | |
| Rhinebeck, New York | |
| The Beekman Arms, first known as Traphagen's Tavern, has long been a resting place for the hungry and weary travelers of the old Albany Post Road. Established in 1766, the Beekman Arms is credited by the historians and the American Hotel Association with being the "Oldest Hotel in America" in continuous operation. In its beginning, the Beekman Arms was a one story stone building | |
| constructed with a dual purpose in mind: to provide bed and board for the traveler, and to serve as a shelter for the local residents against Indian attack. Later, during the Revolutionary War, General Washington often watched his troops drilling in the square from a corner window while he awaited for his couriers to arrive with news. Many other famous persons of past and present have also visited the old Inn. Included are General Montgomery, Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, DeWitt Clinton, Benedict | |
| Arnold, Martin Van Buren, Vice President Levi P. Morton and more recent times, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Astronaut James Lovell, Governor Nelson Rockefeller, as well as many present personalitites from the stage and screen. The Beekman Arms invites you, too, to partake of its authentic early American atmosphere with its hearty fare and comfortable rooms. Located at the Sepasco Trail and King's Highway (now State 308 and U.S. Route Nine), the Beekman Arms serves the public every day | |
| of the year in the traditional manner of fine inn-keeping. | |
