If you’ve walked past The Henry Clay Inn lately, you’ve probably noticed a little extra bustle around our grounds. Our beloved historic property has stood as a landmark in Ashland for decades — welcoming travelers, neighbors, rail enthusiasts, and friends from near and far. And like any treasured piece of history, it needs a little TLC.

Behind the scenes, we’ve already begun making meaningful improvements to protect the character you love while preparing the Inn for many more years of hospitality. Some of the first projects tackled include roof repairs and driveway paving — essential updates that ensure safety, durability, and comfort for every guest who walks through our doors.

But we’re just getting started…

In the coming months, we’ll begin restoring our front porch.

We will remain open during construction.

Throughout the year, we’ll be sharing progress updates, behind-the-scenes looks, and stories about the restoration efforts through our blog and social media. It’s all part of strengthening the legacy of The Henry Clay Inn and ensuring that future generations can enjoy the same warm, historic beauty that makes this place so special.

Thank you for being part of the Inn’s story — past, present, and future. 💛
