Explore the spectacular home of Henry Mercer by taking a trip to Fonthill Castle. The castle was built between 1908-1912 and belonged to Henry Mercer (1856-1930) an archaeologist, anthropologist, ceramicist, scholar and antiquarian. Mercer built the Castle as his home and showplace for his collections of tiles and prints. Upon his death in 1930, Mercer left his concrete “Castle for the New World” in a trust as a museum of decorative tiles and prints. Today guests can walk around the castle and explore the grounds and museum.

Walk the trails at The Delaware & Raritan (D&R) Canal State Park. The D&R consist of 25 miles of well-maintained trails that run along the New Jersey and Pennsylvania sides of the river. This trail can be accessed directly from Woolverton Inn, or guests can drive and park at the numerous locations for different hiking options.

Enjoy horseback riding at the many horse farms and stables that are close to the Inn. The rural part of New Jersey is home to many equestrian sports and Kierson Farms is a friendly equine group that offers riding lessons. Kierson Farms offers lessons seven days a week and guests are welcome to the farm to learn about horseback riding or even go for a ride themselves.
