The City of New Port Richey is a beautiful and historic township located along the winding river banks of the Pithlachascotee River. In the heart of downtown rests the historic Hacienda Hotel, which was designed to be an exclusive subtropical resort. This crown jewel of the City became a favorite retreat for Hollywood stars and starlets. The 1920s ushered in a parade of famous names to the area including the likes of Thomas Meighan, Irving Berlin, Gene Sarazen, Babe Ruth, June Carter Cash, Johnny Cash, and many more.
