Investigating McConkey’s Ferry Inn

Every so often, well…often might be the wrong word, the editorial board at the American Public House Review gets a dispatch from Dunmore Throop, our semi-anonymous comrade and former Scotland Yard something or other.  A few years ago he made it to an editorial meeting, our first and perhaps only editorial meeting, and then disappeared again immediately after only to later send us his investigative findings.

Throop made his was to McConkey’s Ferry Inn at Washington’s Crossing Historic Park.  So I thought it might be interesting during this Independence Day Weekend to take a look back at this Scotsman’s views of such an important location from the American Revolution.
