Great place. A Kentucky staple. Must see this. I would suggest you take the tour and learn the rich history of the house as well as the property. Really enjoyed this establishment. If you enjoy history, put My Old Kentucky Home on your list.

Really pretty grounds filled with so much history. The house tour was really interesting and neat to see all the furniture and hear the stories. We were rushed a bit upstairs but overall a nice tour.

Lovely park. This was my first visit to this historic park. Very nice outing with my daughter and grandson. Next time I'll have to take time to look around their beautiful gift shop.

Very enjoyable, interesting tour of the house. Our tour guide, Gary, was very well-spoken and knowledgeable. Since we visited in October, we also learned some fascinating facts about Victorian mourning traditions. Overall, a great stop and worth the time!
