Kenmore Inn in FXBG sold

The historic Kenmore Inn in Fredericksburg has been sold to a Newport News-based company that plans to continue operating the facility.

The owners of Ironclad Distillery Co. purchased the Fredericksburg property in late 2023 for $2.35 million. Ironclad makes bourbon whiskey at its Newport News facility and plans a tasting room in the basement of the Kenmore Inn. The plan is to open the tasting room within a month.

The King family, which owns and operates Ironclad, also plans to continue running the Kenmore Inn as a bed-and-breakfast and event facility. That part of the business remains open now.

We will feature the King family’s plans for the facility more later!
