Next to the gristmill was the Delawanna Hotel. Many people came from the city to board for the summer at this large boarding house from May 1 to November 1. The house still stands today, three stories high, plus the attic. It originally was a six-room house but was added to several times so that it could accommodate fifty boarders. People came out on the train for $2.05 and round trip to New York was only $3.15. A round trip could be done in a day. Many boarders liked to get on the train and go to Stroudsburg, do their shopping, and return in the same day. Entertainment consisted of masquerades, hayrides, card parties, dancing, and contests of different kinds. It cost $7.00 to $10.00 a week to stay at the Delawanna. The name was taken from a legend about a beautiful Indian maiden named Delawanna who, with her lover, met a tragic death in the Delaware River by drowning.
