Warsaw, Kentucky

Warsaw is a home rule-class city in and the county seat of Gallatin CountyKentuckyUnited States, located along the Ohio River. The name was suggested by a riverboat captain, who was reading Thaddeus of Warsaw, by Jane Porter, when the city was being founded.

The city had a population of 1,615 at the 2010 census, down from 1,811 at the 2000 census.

History

Warsaw began as a landing on the Ohio River in 1798 called "Great Landing". In 1805, founder Colonel Robert Johnson surveyed and built a road from this landing to his former home in Scott County, Kentucky. The landing soon became a busy shipping port.

In 1814, Colonel Johnson and Henry Yates purchased 200 acres (81 ha) to establish a river town to be named "Fredericksburg", after Johnson's hometown in Virginia. By 1815, the town plot was complete. The town extended from the river to Market Street and included 172 numbered lots, each 28.5 by 99 feet (8.7 by 30.2 m).

In 1831, the town was renamed as "Warsaw", as the US Postal Service did not want it to have the same name as the Virginia city. The post office was established July 18, 1832, with W.F. Clinton as postmaster. In 1837, the Gallatin County seat was moved from Port William (now Carrollton) to Warsaw. The courthouse is now the oldest operating one in the state. The oldest home in Warsaw is the Henry Yates House, a home built of log construction circa 1809.

On December 4, 1868, 80 people died in the Ohio River steamboat collision of the United States and the America near Warsaw.

The Warsaw Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is roughly bounded by W. High, E. Franklin, Washington, Market, Main, 3rd, 4th and Cross streets. It features Italianate and Gothic Revival architecture.

Warsaw is located in north-central Gallatin County, along the south bank of the Ohio River.

According to the United States Census Bureau, Warsaw has a total area of 0.69 square miles (1.8 km2), of which 0.66 square miles (1.7 km2) is land and 0.04 square miles (0.1 km2), or 6.47%, is water.

History

The original house was built in 1869 by Local Businessman and Militia Captain, Senator James H. McDanell, Sr. He lived with his wife, Irene, and their two sons and daughter. His farm was one of the finest in the state. He was a careful, diligent, and conservative man, three features that assisted materially in making his fortune. He soon built up a good trade that grew year after year until his establishment, J.A. McDanell and Sons Mercantile, became the most important business in the town of Warsaw.

Captain McDannell's home partially burnt in 1889, but he had it rebuilt, and it became known as Lynwood Hall. Originally were two identical entrances – one facing the Ohio River (which remains the same today, and the other facing US Highway 42). Lynwood Hall remained in the McDanell family for over three generations.

Our Journey So Far

In 1950, William H. Hill, a nurseryman, bought the property and ran a large tree nursery; the beauty of some of his trees still grace the property, such as the 5 types of Magnolia trees, Bradford pears, multi-coloured Dogwoods, and stunning American Holly trees. You will find large Oak trees, American Lindens, Tulip trees, and Weeping Cherry trees, to name a few.

Mr. Hill changed the front facade of the house by adding the brick columns that are still standing today. Mr. Hill's daughter, Marie Hill Roberts, and her husband Harry, along with their son and three daughters, inherited the house where Marie lived until 2005. In 2010, the current owners purchased the property, then known as Heritage Hall.

The current owners lovingly took ownership and after a year of extensive restoration and renovation ~ where the beauty of the old was merged with the convenience of the new ~ the house proudly opened in May 2011 as one of Kentucky's most romantic inns.

Calm Your Mind And Attain Harmony During Your Stay

What better way to pamper yourself during your stay than to indulge in a massage? Our visiting licensed massage therapists will perform these treatments in our Spa Room's privacy located in the West Wing. Due to the popularity of these services, we recommend making your appointment at the time of your reservation. Prices may increase if our regular therapist is not available for the date you are visiting.

Hot Stone Massage

The application of water-heated basalt stones to key points on the body gives a deep massage and creates sensations of comfort and warmth. The penetrating heat from the hot stones relaxes the muscles, allowing for deeper relaxation compared with Therapeutic massage therapy.

Therapeutic Massage

This specialty massage includes slower strokes and medium pressure to relieve stress, tension with the focus being on relaxation.

Pre-Natal Massage

This massage is specially designed for the expectant mother. By ordering this massage, our therapist will be prepared to make accommodations to make the guest more comfortable during her massage.

Deep Tissue Massage

A deep tissue massage is recommended when you have specific areas of pain that requires much deeper muscle work than a traditional, relaxing massage. Recommended for those that have chronic pain, sports injury, those that simply prefer a very firm massage, or if needed to help restore mobility.
