Hunt-Morgan House and Gardens



 

The Hunt-Morgan House and gardens, located in Lexington, Kentucky, is a Federalist-style house that was built in 1814 by John Wesley Hunt.  It is reminiscent of the days when Lexington was known for its affluent lifestyle.  Today, it serves as a Civil War museum.

After you tour the museum, you can visit the small, but lovely garden which features hydrangeas and a gazebo. It is often used as the setting for wedding pictures.  In fact, the entire facility can be rented for weddings.

The museum is open from March 1 through mid-December.  Tours are offered Wednesday - Friday, and Sunday from 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM each hour.  On Saturday, tours are from 10:00 - 3:00 PM.  There is a small admission fee.

    Good for a spring wedding but I'd melt during a July one.

      Yes, as someone who frequently performs for outdoor weddings, I know that melting feeling!

    Hi Sherry - looks an interesting property. I love hydrangeas ... the remind me of Cornwall - though I know grow in many places. Looks a great place to visit - cheers Hilary

      I have visited many of them, especially the ones along the east coast and midwest. I've seen all of the Kentucky gardens.

    Must tell my daughter, believe she has a business trip to Lexington in a couple of weeks. No clue how much extra time she may have, but since she's going to be there, she might get to tour. Always enjoy yours posts.

      Hi Sandy. I am now an Executive Director of an orchestra, which leaves me very little time to blog. I'll be here occasionally. When I visit your blog, you know I've posted something on mine.
