Brinton Lodge is a one room building dating back to the early 1700s. Originally it was a tavern and roadhouse serving traffic from the Schulykill River Canal. It eventually became a summer residence until Caleb Brinton bought it in 1927. He turned it into a "gentlemans" club. But in 1972, Hurricane Agnes roared past, badly damaging the building. Without flood insurance, Brinton left his Lodge vacant and in shambles. The Covatta family restored it in the 1980s
