On our way out I was amazed at how beautiful the grounds are, grass is kept at the perfect height, ponds have fountains spewing water, stone benches line the banks, it was serene, peaceful and quiet, it was perfectly closed off from the surrounding city.
If you are in the Lexington area I would recommend paying the...
