I love going here. The caretaker is wonderful. He is always willing to help out if need be. The place is beautiful. He does a great job of taking care of the grounds and buildings.
In the Spring and Summer months, local groups grow vegetable gardens. It's fun to see the different things they choose to plant. Everyone is very respectful of one another's area.

I saw inside the gift shop/visitor's area that they have workshops for people wanting to learn gardening. Check their website...

While visiting last weekend, a worker briskly walked past my guest and I without even acknowledging or welcoming us. We were reading the historical interpretive signage. I looked over at her to ask a question, but she practically ran over to the house to make sure it was locked up. It didn't even enter in my mind to try to enter the property. As a member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation as well as the Bluegrass Trust for Historic Preservation, I have nothing but respect and admiration for historic properties. It was very disheartening to not be welcomed onto the site and be treated with suspicion...
