Ashland - The Henry Clay Estate 120 Sycamore Road, Lexington, KY 40502

"**Updated from my former review ** Went on the tour this week and it was stunning all decorated for the holidays. It was a thorough tour of the house and we felt we got our money’s worth. $25 for an hour and then about 30 mins exploring things that were open outside. Cute gift shop carries jam and local items. Bringing moonshine jam home to CO! Didn't go in because the tour was full, but was able to explore the gardens and the beautiful path around the house. Nice way to spend 45 minutes and you can still look at some of the things around the house such as the barn, and "cold storage"."

"Amazing tour of a beautiful place. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. The property is beautiful, the house well maintained and full of beautiful details. The grounds well maintained and the small Ginkgo Cafe had yummy homemade gazpacho and other tasty food."

"A neat insight to history. Beautiful grounds & garden. Guided tours are the only way to visit the inside of the house. Tour guide was knowledgeable and gives good insight to Henry Clay's life. Gift Shop & Snack Bar on-site. Parking is free."

"The neighborhood was better than the estate itself but it was cool seeing the garden. One thing I really get tired of is visiting these places and seeing America celebrate slave owners. There were a lot of great men and women of this country that were on the right side of history in regards to slavery and we should celebrate them not men and women that owned other human beings. We as Americans should be able to at the very least agree on that basic point."

"Great tour! Very covid safe with only 5 people in the group including guide and masks required. The history is interesting. A lot of the tour was about the family and the house itself, which was neat to learn about, but I would have liked to understand more about Henry Clay himself. The grounds are beautiful! Nice place to walk. Make sure to stop by the garden."
