The Raritan Inn
From pre-colonial New Jersey through its grand Victorian era to its storied restoration of today, the Inn has maintained a grand presence along the banks of the South Branch of the Raritan River. This property, the site of farming, peach basket production and family living has been transformed through careful restoration into an elegant and unique setting, serving discerning overnight guests and hosting memorable events.
When the Asdal family purchased the property in 2002, the stately house and barn were dilapidated, vacant and almost beyond restoration. Bill Asdal’s remodeling company took on the monumental job of renovating the home back to her former glory, a once-in-a-lifetime project that transformed a piece of New Jersey history into a national landmark.
The restoration project resulted in a property that is 100% energy self-sufficient with no fossil fuels on site, powered instead with solar panels and geothermal energy.
Bill continues to have a passion for history, old homes and the home building profession. He has recently restored several more historical buildings in the area immediately surrounding the Inn and is always happy to give impromptu tours and share his excitement over the historical importance of this area of Hunterdon County.
