Built c. 1860, the White Horse Inn/Shamong Hotel is the one of the oldest surviving inns in the Pine Barrens. When first constructed, the inn served stagecoach and later railroad passengers in route to Southern New jersey iron furnaces. At the turn of the twentieth century, Prince Ruspoli created a resort club in the area called the Chatworth Club, which boasted Astors, Duponts, Goulds, Pulitzers, Morgans and Vanderbilts as members. Overflow guests from the resort were housed at the inn. Today the inn is the sole remaining building that once belonged to the club.

The grant helped to fund stabilization of the inn and some restoration work. The historic inn is open for local tours and festivals.
