By coincidence, as far as I could tell, the western writer Zane Grey lived in this house just upstream from the Delaware Aqueduct near where the Lackawaxen and Delaware meet. It was in this house that Grey wrote his most well-known work Riders of the Purple Sage. Today the house is home to the Zane Grey Museum which is administered by the National Park Service. The museum was closed when I visited. According to one of the park brochures I picked up, Grey enlarged this house twice in an attempt to get further away from his growing family while he was writing.
