rosemary clooney house

Love the museum stuff they had and the house was Beautiful.The only thing is don't be in a hurry they didn't open up on time so be prepared to wait if they don't.We sat and looked at the Ohio river it was a beautiful day....They have stuff from George Clooney movies as well..Well worth the trip such a friendly town.

Rosemary Clooney's house is an absolute treat to visit. It is crammed full of memories some neatly tucked slightly out of the way others readily on view. It was a delight to visit and we were lucky enough to be the only visitors there at the time so had a personal tour by our guide which was excellent - full of knowledge and stories. I would recommend visiting the house if you are in the area.

My wife and I made a special effort to go to Augusta to see Rosemary's house on Sunday, Sept. 30. We knew it doesn't open until 1 pm, so we killed time in the am and then went and waited around, along with several other people for someone to open the house , but no one showed up, so we all left. What kind of way is this to run a business?

My friend and I really enjoyed our visit here - maybe you need to be a certain age to appreciate ALL of the history in this home. Our "tour guide" Jule was a very pleasant & talkative older lady who was very nice and told us all kinds of stories about Rosemary & family, George & his escapades, and many others. The home is packed with lots of old costumes from Rosemary's movies, both her costumes, AND Vera Ellen's, Bob Hope's, etc. Also there are about 10 costumes from George Clooney's movies - mostly those he wore but also some female co- stars. There are many, many photos of Rosemary and her family, and also of her brother Nick & his family (George, etc.).We saw 5+ rooms fully of memorabilia in this old rehabbed (by Rosemary) home with an Ohio River view, including those of the present owner Heather Renee French. We found it interesting to see her costumes from her pageant days that were beautiful & all made by her talented mother!We thought that it was worth our time and $5 to take this tour back in time.

The Henry family operate this beautiful house dedicated to the memories of the famous people that are and were residents of the area! Steve and Heather{MIss America 2000} french Henry do such a fantastic job of preserving the memories of Rosemary Clooney and her family along with some memorabilia of their own!

Just right in the town of Augusta on a street with other homes. Homey. Great surroundings on street by Ohio River.

Augusta, KY is a quaint little river town, and Rosemary's charming house looks out over the river. It is just down from where one of the last ferries across the Ohio runs between Kentucky and Ohio, transporting people and cars. I was told the charge is $5 for cars and free if you just want to ride across without your car. We were disappointed that on a Wednesday only one shop was open in the town. We would have loved to visit Nina's, a shop belonging to one of the Clooneys, and in Rose Hill Boutique, Heather French Henry's dress shop. I have mixed reactions to the tour of Rosemary's home. First of all, when you enter the home and pay the entrance fee of $5, you find yourself in a room with many items for sale. It would be better if that was left to the end of the tour. However, the exhibits are well done, with numerous original costumes and some reproductions. Her bedroom upstairs was interesting. Only a portion of the house is available to tour.Our tour guide was a sweet young lady who knew very little about the house and couldn't answer many of our questions. That was frustrating, but all in all, we were very glad that we visited the house and the town. It has the feel of Mayberry, RFD, and that's a good thing!

Lovely home on the Ohio River! Augusta has strong ties to Rosemary Clooney, her brother Nick and his son...some actor guy named George!

We were there the first weekend it opened and enjoyed the day. Lots of history here.

I was at the Rosemary Clooney House with a group of Ladies and we found it to be most enjoyable. Plenty of memorabilia. The Hostess that led the tour was alittle "talky", however it was quite obvious that she enjoyed her job. Not a place that you would go back to, but was worth a trip to see it all.

It is just her house that is packed full of Rosemary's memorabilia. There is no entrance fee, but donations are expected.Overall not worth the side trip to get there, although the ferry ride over from Ohio was fun. Not much else to do in the town of Augusta KY. We stopped at a B&B for lunch but all of us were highly disappointed with the warmed over food on the buffet. Not a good experience.
