The Chalfonte was built in 1876 by Colonel Henry Sawyer, a local Civil War Hero. Originally planned as a boarding house, Sawyers structure underwent most of its expansion between 1876 and 1909. The present footprint is much as it was in 1909. The Chalfonte is the proud recipient of the 2001 New Jersey Historic Preservation Award, in recognition of its efforts in innovative historic preservation educational programs. The Chalfonte offers family-friendly Victorian accommodations and southern hospitality. Available for weddings, receptions, groups and reunions. Open seasonally. Call or check website for information.
