Perfect for wedding weekends, family gatherings, and group getaways in historic Augusta, Kentucky. 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.

Beautiful historic home in the heart of Augusta! Bedrooms and bathrooms are updated and beautiful! A nice patio outside to enjoy a glass of wine or sit on the front porch and wave to the friendly neighbors. A very short walk to the river, the Augusta Pub, the Beehive Restaurant and the cute shops!! The Owner was so friendly and welcoming!
