Tappan, NY

The first County Courthouse was built in Tappan, though by 1737, sessions alternated between Tappan and Goshen. The first schoolhouse in Rockland County was built in Tappan. It was used as a school from 1711 through 1860. There would not be another school in the county until late in the 18th century. The Orangetown Resolutions were adopted in 1774. General George Washington used the 1700 DeWint House, Rockland County's oldest existing structure in Tappan as his headquarters four times and dined at The Old 76 House during the American Revolution. It is an outstanding example of Hudson Valley Colonial Dutch architecture. It was built using indigenous sandstone in 1700 by Daniel DeClark, a Hollander, who emigrated to America in 1676. In 1783, British Major John André, who conspired with Benedict Arnold to buy the plans for the fortifications at West Point to the British, was captured in Tarrytown on his way back to the British lines with the plans. Major John André was brought to Tappan and confined at "The Old 76 House" and brought to trial at the Reformed Church of Tappan; he was found guilty, hanged and buried nearby.
