Every year when the Kentucky Derby is on, I love to hear the rendition of the state song of Kentucky written by Stephen Foster! Having stopped in Bardstown, KY, we had the opportunity to actually see the home that inspired the songwriter. Now when I hear the song again, I will have a vision of this home.

This is a very nice old southern home were Steven Foster was thought to have visited. The history of the home is a bit sketchy but it certainly is a very nice restoration of an old southern home.

In the evening after the golfers are gone, its pleasant to walk along the nearby golf path. Federal Hill was very impressive. The tour was informative and the interior has new historic wallpaper & carpeting which was... More

It wasn't great weather, I would have liked to walk the grounds a bit. The museum tour was short and sweet and the tour guide was dressed to the tens in a period dress.
