Review:
Originally built in 1814, The Hunt-Morgan House was initially given the name Hopemont, and belonged to the first millionaire who lived on the west side of the Alleghenies Mountain Range. After its founding, the home would continue to house historically notable citizens, including a Confederate Army general and Dr. Thomas Hunt Morgan, the first Kentucky resident to win a Nobel Prize.
Preserved by a local preservation trust, the home has been restored and is now open to the public. The interior features historic and period decor and furniture, along with genuine artifacts pertaining to the home’s previous residents. Additionally, the building houses an on site Civil War museum.
