Old Postcard: My Old Kentucky Home


"THE HOME was built as a summer home in 1795, over 135 years ago, by JOHN ROWAN, Sr., a young lawyer of Louisville, Ky. The bricks came from England, were landed at Newport News, Va., and brought to Kentucky on sledges in winter along the Indian trails, drawn by oxen, driven by slaves."

It is postmarked 1943.
