Constructed by New Hope's first prominent settler, John Wells, who operated the ferry for 20 years; thereby giving the Village it's first name- Wells Ferry. During the Revolution the Ferry was owned by John Coryell, and the Village became Coryell's Ferry. In 1776 the Ferry Landing was the site of a redoubt built by the continental soldiers, who could observe any enemy activity on the New Jersey shoreline.
The circa 1717 post and beam barn construction was restored and renovated beginning in late 2004, commencing in its opening September 8, 2006, where Martine's formerly of 7 E. Ferry St., found it's new home.
