Teepee on the Edge

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. 


Our teepee is featured on Roadside America – Your Online Guide to Offbeat Tourist Attractions! Check it out & leave a comment about your visit to the Ketcham Teepee!
