A private tour of the historic Hunt-Morgan House, as well as a gift basket full of Kentucky and Blue Grass Trust gifts.
     In the midst of Lexington, Kentucky's historic antebellum Grantz Park, the Hunt-Morgan House stands as a reminder of early 19th century life, when Lexington was known as The Athens of the West.  Built in 1814, the Federal-style Hunt-Morgan House has many beautiful architectural features, including the Palladian window with fan and sidelights that grace its front facade.  In 1955 the Blue Grass Trust for Historic Preservation was formed to save the home from impending demolition.  The organization restored the home to its Federal appearance and now operates the house as a museum.
     The museum's collection of early Kentucky furniture, antique porcelain and 19th century paintings captures the elegance of the Hunt and Morgan families.  The rooms are furnished with articles of the period as well as those owned by the family.  The Alexander T. Hunt Civil War Museum, located on the second floor of the Hunt-Morgan House, features an extensive collection of Civil War relics and memorabilia.
