The Taylor Mansion Estate & Event Space: Legacy Newport, Preserved.

Step into the legacy of the Taylor Mansion, built in 1820 by General James Taylor-founder of Newport, cousin to President Zachary Taylor, and one of Kentucky’s most influential early figures. Designed by Benjamin Latrobe, architect of the U.S. Capitol, this masterpiece stands as the crown jewel of Newport’s Mansion Hill Historic District. Once a gathering place for political leaders and high society, the 7,000+ sq ft estate showcases 17-ft ceilings, intricate plaster moldings, hand-carved woodwork, and sweeping staircases that reflect the elegance of early American architecture.

Set amid tree-lined streets of Victorian and Federal-era homes overlooking the Cincinnati skyline, the Taylor Mansion offers a rare opportunity to experience living history.

Today, it serves as Northern Kentucky’s premier venue for weddings, retreats, and distinguished group stays-a timeless setting where heritage, architecture, and modern comfort unite for an unforgettable experience.
