Uncommon History of My Old Kentucky Home

The most well-known and adored historic property in Kentucky is the farm that inspired the vision in Stephen Collins Foster's famous song, "My Old Kentucky Home, Good-Night!" The three-story home, constructed between 1812 and 1818 and initially given the name "Federal Hill" by Judge John Rowan, became Kentucky's first historic shrine on July 4th, 1923. The Rowan family had lived in the mansion and farm in Nelson County, close to Bardstown, for three generations spanning 120 years. The final member of the Rowan family, Madge Rowan Frost, sold the 235 acres and family home to the Commonwealth of Kentucky in 1922.
