Beautiful inside and out. The garden is stunning when in full bloom, and the home tour is something every Lexingtonian should experience at least once. A lot has been done to make the grounds more appealing in recent years, including all the giant steel sculptures, mulched walking paths, and other interesting art and exhibits. They've also tried to attract different markets and age groups by offering events such as yoga on the lawn. The employees are not the nicest you've ever encountered, which has dissuaded me from taking others on the tour, but there's so much to see that one aspect shouldn't deter you. The grounds have lots of historic aspects, too.
