Susanna’s Guest House is located on the Ohio River in the village of New Richmond, Ohio, which was once the settlement of Susanna. The original hamlet of Susanna was founded by Thomas Ashburn, who with his wife, Susanna and family, left Bolton, England in 1812 for the Ohio River Valley in the Northwest Territory. Thomas named the new hamlet Susanna in living tribute to his wife who had done so much to make their life a success. Learn more about their inspiring story when you stay in the Ashburn Room.

Susanna’s Guest House was built circa 1860 in the Early Victorian Italianate Style. This was the era of the War between the States, when steam powered boats, similiar to the Delta Queen, were the primary means of transportation up and down the Ohio River. During these years, Susanna's Guest House survived a nearby raid by Confederate troops. You can read about this early history during your visit to the Captain Wagner Room or the Ohio River Room.

Susanna’s Guest House is a bed and breakfast that is an escape from the hectic pace of today.
