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
 
I've eaten there a couple times. My friend likes to look for the ghosts but I just tell him to slow down with the drinks...
