Liberty Hall
Historic Site is open for the 2009 season.
   
Located in historic downtown Frankfort on
the banks of the Kentucky River, Liberty Hall Historic Site was
the home of one of Kentucky's most important families. The site
contains two houses: Liberty Hall (1796) built by John Brown, one of
Kentucky's first United States Senator and the Orlando Brown House
(1835), designed by Gideon Shryock,
and owned by Senator Brown's second son.
In addition to the
houses, Liberty Hall Historic Site has grounds that include extensive
boxwood and perennial gardens, which lead down to the Kentucky River.
Benches are located throughout the garden for those who wish
to enjoy a quiet moment among the beautiful plants and flowers.
 
The mission of Liberty
Hall Historic Site is to educate the public by interpreting the life and times
of Senator John Brown and his descendants. The site will collect,
document, preserve, conserve, and exhibit the social, domestic, and
horticultural aspects of Kentucky life, beginning with 1796 at Liberty Hall and
1835 at the Orlando Brown House.
Liberty Hall Historic
Site is a 501(c)3 organization operated by The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the
Commonwealth of Kentucky. The property is owned by the NCSDA-KY and Liberty Hall, Inc.
