Ashland, The Henry Clay Estate

-
Ashland, the home of famous 19th-century statesman Henry Clay, is at the edge downtown Lexington on a beautiful 17-acre wooded estate with an English parterre garden. The home is filled with Clay family belongings and memorabilia. Take one of their tours - from their signature tour to the Slavery at Ashland tour. Or take advantage of a sunny day and enjoy their grounds, which they've dubbed a museum without walls.
