Where History Checked In!
Located in the National Historic District overlooking the Missouri River
is the White House Hotel. Built in 1868, the hotel is a three story brick
building with a two story wing containing thirty-six rooms.
It is enhanced by the original cast iron balconies, carved stone keystones
above the windows, ornate woodwork under the eaves and rising high above
is the iron-railed Widows Walk.
Inside, the hotel boasts coved ceilings, some 16 foot high,
arched hallways, 12" thick brick walls, wrap around full balconies
overlooking 1st street, and rooms authentically furnished in the pre-1900 period.
The hotels original saloon, the "First and Last Stop Saloon" located
at the front entrance, served all likes of spirits through out the hotels history.
The hotel has a full basement, including its own wine cellar,
and its own "rare" indoor water well.
We are a tour site, dedicated to the historic preservation
of this history-rich building located in Hermann,
the most beautiful town in Missouri !!
The White House Hotel Ticket Office & Information Booth
now has a wide range of interesting
facts and history of the historic building.
It is free to the public. It is located in the former
blacksmith & buggy shop off 1st Street.
Look for the open red doors!
