1. Ashland, the Henry Clay Estate

Perhaps Kentucky's most famous statesman, Henry Clay was not only the "Great Compromiser," who warded off the Civil War for a time, but a Speaker of the House and Secretary of State (among other offices). Ashland, the home now considered a National Historic Landmark, was built by his son on the foundation of the original and features period items and furnishings. Built of brick, the stately Italianate structure also features a cluster of dependencies and manicured gardens on its remaining twenty acres.   (© 10Best)

Located on 20 wooded acres, this National Historic Landmark was home to politician and Kentuckian Henry Clay. (from Southern Living)
