Tucked into the rolling farmland of northern Madison County, this sprawling 44-room mansion is best known as the home of Cassius Marcellus Clay — one of Kentucky's most outspoken emancipationists, a fiery political figure, and U.S. Minister to Russia. Originally built in 1799 by his father, General Green Clay, as a modest seven-room home, White Hall was transformed over the decades into the grand, 10,000-plus-square-foot Italianate mansion we see today. His wife, Mary Jane Warfield Clay, oversaw its dramatic expansion while he served abroad, and their daughters — including Laura Clay — went on to play leading roles in the women's suffrage movement. Few houses in Kentucky so powerfully reflect one family's impact on the state's political and social history. deTours are free and open to the public!
