Description
1818 Federal Hill Mansion - My Old Kentucky Home
The 1818 Federal Hill Mansion is an exquisite iconic brick structure and is the focus of attention at the My Old Kentucky Home State Park in Bardstown, Kentucky, and is an asset of the Kentucky Department Of Parks. This mansion was commissioned by first owner of the mansion, Judge John Rowan.
The original rear portion of the home was constructed in 1795 with the new larger addition being added between 1812 and 1818. The original two room, one story, brick home was used as living quarters until the full mansion was completed. This impressive brick mansion is constructed in the very popular Federal Style of architecture and presents a dominating visual impact from its prominent location on top of the hill that it sits upon. Surrounded by centuries old Magnolia, Maple and Cedar trees the notably historic Federal Hill Mansion is magnificent in its presentation to the viewer.
The 1818 Federal Hill Mansion became Kentuckys first historic shrine on July 4, 1923. In 1936 the Department of Conservation, Division of State Parks acquired the property and has provided care and maintenance of the mansion and the surrounding grounds. The My Old Kentucky Home State Park is among the most popular of the parks within the Kentucky Department of Parks system.
