Ward Hall Kentucky's Greek Revival Masterpiece

" Enter the world of Ward Hall, where world class Antebellum Greek Revival architecture is embellished with period antiques, celebrating the 1850s lifestyle. The newly formed America looked to the democratic ideals of the ancient Greek republic, building public and private edifices to resemble their temples; thus verifying that they were worthy successors to those Athenian values. High resolution photography and detailed diligent research have uncovered new facets of this Kentucky gem. Ward Hall is undisputedly Kentucky's grandest and most stately Greek Revival residence. Erected in Georgetown, Ky just before the Civil War, it showcased the newly formed United States' interpretation of the Greek democratic ideals embodied in a strong, not overly ornate structure. Ward Hall is in a constant state of restoration, but still the grandeur of it prevails. The mansion serves not only as a museum of the Antebellum period in American history, including the contributions of the enslaved, but as a living tribute with colorful events hosted throughout the year. This book will let the reader enjoy the splendor throughout the seasons and encourage a visit and donation to this National treasure."
