, My husband and I arrived to the first tour time on Sunday of Memorial weekend, 9:00 am. The guide was a very personable and knew lots of details about the house. The house it's not full of furniture and lavish decoration, but I appreciated the value of what it does have and the story behind those artifacts and house... More

I have to say I really enjoyed White Hall – and even if you’re not very enthusiastic about house museums this one is still worth visiting. It is in the middle of Madison County’s largest working farm – 2200 acres still owned by the family… sort of. When Cassius Clay died (in the library in the house!!) the house was... More
