About this property

The Historic Tin Shop – A Cozy Retreat in the Heart of Augusta

Step Into History at the Charming John Buerger Tin Shop — Where the Past Meets Comfort

Welcome to the Historic John Buerger Tin Shop, a thoughtfully restored 18th-century gem nestled in the heart of Augusta, Kentucky. Once the working shop of master tinsmith John Buerger, this one-of-a-kind property now offers a cozy, character-filled retreat where craftsmanship and comfort come together in perfect harmony.

What You'll Love:

Historic Charm: From the moment you step inside, you'll be surrounded by original details — exposed brick walls, hardwood flooring, and vintage reclaimed tinwork decorating the walls — all lovingly preserved to tell the story of its storied past.

Cozy, Modern Comforts: The Tin Shop features beautifully appointed bedrooms with plush bedding, and the two king bedrooms feature a stylish sitting area that blends antique elements with modern touches. It's the perfect mix of rustic elegance and contemporary ease.

Peaceful Outdoor Space: Enjoy your morning coffee or an evening glass of wine on the private front porch or the side patio, serenaded by the sounds of birdsong and church bells. The quiet charm of small-town Kentucky surrounds you.

Walkable Location: Just steps from the scenic banks of the Ohio River and Augusta’s quaint Main Street, you’ll find local shops, restaurants, and historic sites all within walking distance. Additionally, within a short drive you will find the world-renowned Augusta Distillery and the Baker-Bird Winery,

Creative Inspiration: Whether you’re a history lover, writer, artist, or simply looking for a relaxing getaway, the Tin Shop offers an inspiring setting unlike anywhere else.
