>From Wilfred B. Talman's "How Things Began in Rockland County..." "Another crossroad tavern, frequently the headquarters of Gen Washington, was John Suffern's, which faced the present triangle where the monument in Suffen stands. It was new in Revolutionary times, opened in 1773. Any traveler who missed it, however could find something to wet his throat at Wanamaker's on the old Albany Post Road. Sloat's could be the next stop for a thirsty man, and there was SMITH's farther up the Ramapo Pass, and no doubt others on a road heavily traveled by stage coaches ind ays when the republic was young."
