Liberty Hall Historic Site consists of two historic homes that John Brown, Kentucky's first senator, built for his family in a location surrounded by three acres of magnificent formal and informal gardens. Liberty Hall is a Georgian-style stately mansion Brown built in 1796, while the Orlando Brown House is a Greek-Revival house Brown built in 1835 for his son.

Both houses are decorated with well-preserved Brown family portraits, lovely furnishings, and a collection of Paul Sawyier watercolors. Visitors can participate in programs that demonstrate life in old Kentucky and feature activities such as hearthside cooking, crafts, music, activities for kids, seminars and lectures by eminent experts, exhibits, and events such as teas in the Orlando Brown parlor. There are daily guided tours of Liberty Hall. Access to the gardens is free of charge.
