Stanhope House

Stanhope, New Jersey

The Stanhope House, circa 1790, began life as a private residence in a small quaint village in Northwest New Jersey. Beginning in the early Nineteenth Century the House was transformed on many occasions to include a Stagecoach stop on the Morris and Sussex Turnpike, a Boatman”s hotel serving the employees of the Morris Canal, a Post Office, a General Store and a Roadhouse Tavern and Hotel...some say brothel!

In the early 1970”s, under the ownership of the Wrobleski Family, the House was once again transformed into the premier venue for the presentation of live musical performances. The House became widely known for presenting the finest musical artists in various genres to include bluegrass, rock, folk and America”s indigenous musical art form...the BLUES.
