One of the oldest homes in Frankfort, The Vest-Lindsey House is a federal-style mansion built in the early 1800’s. The house has undergone many changes over the years, but now has been restored to a style reminiscent of its original appearance.

Notable residents of the home include Senator George Graham Vest of Kentucky and Daniel Weisiger Lindsey, Inspector General of the Union Army’s forces in Kentucky. Many notable authors and artists have also visited the home, including Robert Wilson Burns and John Fox, Jr. Today the house is once again used as a state meeting house.
