Ashland, Henry Clay Estate Review

I have been going here for walks and leisurely strolls for at least 25yrs. The grounds are beautifully kept. The garden association does the gardens inside the brick wall. The flowers are stunning!! You can pay to have wedding photos done or graduation photos. You can take a tour of The Henry Clay home. Theres a small cafe with all kinds of delicious choices. Theres always some sculptures or statues being displayed. I prefer to walk and hang out in the garden!! I take my kids all ages from stroller to adult, my kids are ages 8 to 19......

This is a nice place to just wander the grounds and enjoy nature.

Best place to walk, rewind and learn about the history of this area.

Unfortunately it was closed when we got there. Looks very interesting for any history buff.

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

Enjoyed the walk around the house. Ofcourse residence was closed. But folks we have to enjoy what we can right now. And we enjoyed those massive trees. We dont let trees grow much anymore. Always pruning and trimming and cutting. Trying to be in control of everything. Thank goodness Mr Clay wasn't like that with his trees. Just beautiful and reminded you of the value of a grand old shade tree.

Love this place. We bring our dog here often. Beautiful and well-maintained

Nice tour of Ashland. Not to long, or to short. Wish the young lady leading the tour was a little more excited about what she was doing but overall an informative tour about Henry Clay.

Finally visited this attraction after living here for over a decade. Very knowledgeable tour guide. Friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit!!

This place is always fun to visit. They are always having events and the staff there is amazing. The scenery is beautiful. I love walking around and enjoying the nature. If you ever want to go on a peaceful walk check this place out. I highly recommend it for anyone. It's also family friendly so bring your children along.

Enjoyed the gardens very much although I thought it was a bit expensive to take a tour inside the house

Thanks to Hurricane Florence we had to replant a wedding in a few days and the estate is where we landed. Besides the Kentucky humidity, it was a great choice. Beautiful setting, accommodating staff, and a Great wedding for my little girl!!

Great tour and very interesting. we learned a lot about Henry Clay.

Pretty place to walk around or have a picnic lunch.

Beautiful place. Lots,to see and do. Get there ea f2f my it closes at 5

tour a little long. guide knowledgable and friendly

Great tour, great guide and great information on an important historical figure that has a legacy relevant to today.

A great place to visit if you are into early American history. The staff at the Estate are very friendly and able to answer nearly all questions you ask them regarding Mr. Clay. My only complaint is not being able to take photographs while on the tour of the house, otherwise a great experience.

Wish we would have had the time to tour, but the women in Clay's life exhibit and the garden in progress were definitely worth the stop.

Beautiful. Great history. Try the walking trail and look at the giant and historic trees.

Very interesting place. It's worth it to pay the $12.00 for the 90 minute tour of the mansion.

Great place to relax and cool off along the massive trees.

Just a beautiful property and a fun place to hang out with the family. Picnic tables available for a afternoon picnic.

Very comprehensive tour of the home every hour, a must for history buffs. Grounds are interesting also. Easily done in 2 hours. Close to Chevy Case neighborhood with great dining.

Beautiful italianate home. We too the guided tour very informative.

Great tour from a very knowledgeable guide and a very nice park-like atmosphere outside

Such a wonderful tour. I learned a lot of important history and really enjoyed the beautiful estate.

I have been wanting to visit Ashland since high school us history class. My teacher loved Henry Clay and we grew up learning to admire him. It was one of the prettiest places. If you go early before opening it is quiet and you have the whole park to yourself. On my next visit I want to be sure to go during open hours to tour inside. Peaceful spot for breakfast in the park.

Nice tour in the summertime. Be sure to take in the walled garden. Too bad that Henry Clay's original house was razed to build this rendition.

Explore the garden to see all the various plants the local Garden Club has planted and takes care of.

Nicely preserved historical estate of an early statesman from US history.

Lovely recreation of the Home of one of Kentucky's premier statesmen. Lots of history to be learned here, not to mention the beautiful garden and grounds.

Always a nice place to walk, visit the historic home, plenty of parking

Great place to walk the grounds or attend a scheduled tour. House is open to prearranged visitors in limited size group. Several tours available including one focused on slavery and on women.

Only walked the grounds, but they are well-maintained and the signeage was nice! It was fun to walk around and learn about the various out buildings and see the garden. I hope to return and go through the museum sometime.

Nice window into the historical past of fledgling America.

The outside of Henry Clay museum with all the beautiful trees we walked around for hours looking at all the beautiful colors on the trees so great place to visit
