Tucked away in the great White Mountains of New Hampshire, our hidden gem holds history in every stone hand-placed on the porch to each sparkling wine glass that hangs above our tavern.

Established in the late 1800s, Thorn Hill Inn has offered a cozy luxury experience to guests spanning over 90 years. We have committed to upholding its tradition, heritage, and rich antiquity as its charm continues to inspire our community and our guests. We build on the opulent legacy of Thorn Hill every day with each traveler creating new memories. It is with pride we share the brilliant history of the Inn at Thorn Hill.

Thorn Hill Inn was originally only a small piece of a larger property purchased by Katherine Wormley. Katherine became most noted for her work during the Civil War. She was a noted author, translator and dedicated her life to the prosperity of those in need.

Katherine was a nurse during the war and started numerous nonprofit organizations to benefit soldiers and families in need. A true visionary in constant service of the less fortunate, in 1861 she organized the local Newport Women’s Union securing a government clothing contract providing employment for the wives and daughters of soldiers. She then joined the hospital transport service volunteering to care for the sick and wounded on ships through the Virginia peninsula.
