AUG 16, 2018 - A Bluegrass Divided

Stone Fences Tours presents their Bluegrass Divided tour, taking you back to pre- Civil War Kentucky. During this period, Kentucky was divided on the issue of slavery. Lexington was the home to one of the largest slave markets in the country. Slave traders roamed the area looking to sell African- Americans into slavery. We will also look in to the lives of the slave-owning Ward family by visiting their summer home, Ward Hall. The area was also a hotbed of abolitionism. We will focus on the eccentric emancipationist Cassius Clay and take a tour of his family home, White Hall. So take a trip back in time with us to see the struggle to maintain or end human bondage in the Bluegrass State. Tickets for this tour can be purchased HERE. Stone Fences Tours
