In July 2010, the Ketcham Inn Foundation, Inc. received a 120 year old teepee. Constructed of wood in c. 1890 as a special amusement at the Bishop Robert Estate, it was later gifted to Chief Paul Ward of the Poospatuck Indians. After surviving several hurricanes, the teepee, a rare example of Road Side Amusement Architecture, was relocated to the Terry Ketcham Inn and fully restored for future generations to see and enjoy.
