Ashland, The Henry
Clay Estate
Ashland, the home of famous 19th-century statesman Henry Clay, is located a short distance from downtown Lexington on a beautiful 20-acre wooded estate. Visiting Ashland, is like taking a step back in time. Allow at least an hour, but on a pretty day you'll want to take no less than two hours to see the house, visit the museum store, have lunch, and enjoy the serene and historic grounds and to stroll the formal garden. You won't want to miss lunch or tea in the pleasant surroundings of the Ginkgo Tree Cafe located on the brick patio surrounding the smokehouse. And, of course, the most important part of your visit is a guided tour of the 18-room mansion. |
