The last stop on the trip was this stone house built by a relative, Cornelius Evert Wynkoop. He was a minuteman and also served on the Committee to detect and defeat Conspiracies along with Aaron Burr. Cornelius' great grandfather who emigrated to this country in the 1680's is my 10th great grandfather.
The big ol' locust trees obstructed my view a bit but I won't hold it against them since I like trees and they've been there since the 1770's! The house is not open to the public but was worth the stop.
By the way, George Washington slept here in 1782!
