  A beautiful place in summer. Easy trails in the city surrounded by lush green trees.

  Excellent tour of a home with many authentic treasures of Henry Clay. Be sure to take time to explore the out buildings and enjoy the paths meandering through the estate.

  The Henry Clay Estate is a must see if visiting Lexington. No time for a tour, no problem. Walk around the grounds for free. With a cafe on sight, just site and take in the summer air. Visit and sit in the gardens or take a walk along the grass trail on site. If you get a chance take a tour of the Estate. The tour last an hour and the tour guides are very informed. Our tour guide (Lillian, I believe) was very friendly and knew alot. Not only did she recall a lot of the history, but she even mentioned anything learned from other tour groups. She didn't rush anyone off after the tour. She took her time and talked to everyone. Even while I was tour the grounds before leaving she stopped and talked to me a little bit. It is nice to actually be able to take your time and take everything in. The only down side is after touring the Mary Todd Lincoln house, they do not allow you in the rooms like the MTL tours. They block off sections with causes crampness trying to get everyone a chance to see the rooms.

  I have lived across from this place for years. I am glad I finally went. I had no idea it was so large and had so many different parts. It is without a doubt a place that I am going to head over to more to study and relax. You should take a walk along the gardens or on some of the other walking trials. The inside of the house is great on the tour as well.

  Very nice tour of an interesting place. The grounds are beautiful and the home ornate. I was a bit disappointed that the staff had no knowledge of the source of the building materials or the methods either.
