RV rental Wagontown, PA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Originally a Lenape tribe hunting grounds, the region that would become Wagontown was a part of the land granted to William Penn. One of the oldest buildings, built in 1736, was known as the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Inn. It was later purchased by a newcomer and renamed to Sign of the Waggon, which is likely how Wagontown came by its name. This building is still standing today. Underneath the Waggon is a small series of cavern and tunnels. Based on the reinforcements, which are in line with what was used in mid-1800s, and artifacts found in these tunnels, historians believe the Waggon and the underground cave may have been used as an Underground Railroad “way station” (also known as a safe house) to transport slaves north.
