Kentucky: Historic Houses and Horse Farms

It’s no secret that Lexington, Kentucky, breeds some of the world’s finest horses. But in addition to equine prestige, the Bluegrass Country also holds a rich architectural heritage, evident in the homes of some of the nation’s most prominent historical figures who first settled in the region centuries ago. In his book, Kentucky: Historic Houses and Horse Farms of Bluegrass Country, Pieter Estersohn, a renowned photographer of architecture and interiors, captures scenes from eighteen different properties in and around Lexington that represent the keystones of that heritage.
