Our rich history
The Heritage House Bed & Breakfast not only offers warmth and comfort to each guest. We also offer a rich and detailed history lesson with each stay.
Originally built around 1810 by William Harrison, this historic home in Russellville, KY, first served as a private residence before becoming the Southern Bank of Kentucky in 1857. The building, later owned by the Hardy family for 60 years, has retained its rich architectural charm and storied past. Today, it stands as a beautifully restored landmark, offering visitors a unique glimpse into the town’s history while providing a cozy and welcoming stay.
On March 20, 1868, the bank was the site of a daring robbery by the infamous Jesse James gang. The outlaws escaped with over $9,000 - worth more than $200,000 today - after shooting and slightly wounding bank president N. Long. Now transformed into Heritage House Bed & Breakfast, this historic gem blends Southern hospitality with modern comforts, making it the perfect choice for travelers looking for a charming B&B or hotel experience in Russellville, KY.
