Ohio's Oldest Hotel
The Golden Lamb Inn is the oldest hotel in Ohio, having been established in Lebanon, Ohio, a town in southwestern Ohio in 1803. The present four-story structure is built around the 1815 rebuilding of the inn, maintaining its colonial architecture.
Saturday, my son, Scott and his girlfriend, Lisa, stopped to see it while we were out driving. It was a wonderful building full of history.
The Golden Lamb was visited by so many prominent guests in the early 1800's because it was located halfway between Cincinnati and the National Road (U.S. 40).
The Golden Lamb has been visited by twelve American Presidents: Willam Henry Harrison, Benjamin Harrison, John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, William cKinley, Warren G. Harding, William Howard Taft, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush.
Other famous guests to visit the Golden Lamb include Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Daniel Webster, Bill McIntire, Thomas Corwin, Clement Vallandigham, Dordell Hull, Robert A Taft, Dewitt Clinton, and Lord Stanley, who later became prime minister of the United Kingdom.
It has eighteen historical rooms in which you can stay overnight. Each room is named after a famous guest who has stayed in the hotel and the rooms are furnished with antiques. It's beautiful with a museum on the top floor.
It is also said to be haunted.
