Historic Tin Shop – 3BR Walkable Wedding & Family Retreat

Perfect for wedding weekends, family gatherings, and group getaways in historic Augusta, Kentucky. Experience one of Augusta’s most unique historic homes—just steps from the riverfront, restaurants, a coffee shop, a local pub, shops, and wedding venues. With 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the Tin Shop is an ideal alternative to multiple hotel rooms for wedding guests and families visiting Augusta.

Welcome to the Historic John Buerger Tin Shop, a thoughtfully restored 18th-century property in the heart of Augusta. Once the working shop of master tinsmith John Buerger, this one-of-a-kind home now offers a comfortable and character-filled retreat for families, friends, and wedding guests looking to stay together under one roof.

The space
Step inside and enjoy the charm of exposed brick walls, hardwood floors, reclaimed tinwork, and preserved historic details that tell the story of the building’s past. The home blends rustic elegance with modern comfort, creating a warm and memorable setting for your stay.

With spacious bedrooms, plush bedding, multiple bathrooms, inviting living areas, and thoughtful touches throughout, the Tin Shop is especially well suited for wedding weekends, family visits, and small group getaways. The two king bedrooms include stylish sitting areas that make it easy to relax, get ready, or unwind after a day of celebration.
