Ashland Park Historic Residential District
✨ Lexington Digital Curators Editorial Review
The historic 17-acre estate of famed 19th-century statesman 'The Great Compromiser' Henry Clay. The property features an 18-room Italianate mansion, original family artifacts, formal English boxwood gardens, and wooded walking paths in the heart of Chevy Chase.
💡 Local Bluegrass Insider Tip
The grounds, walking trails, and formal gardens are free and open to the public daily from dawn to dusk. The Gingko tree grove turns bright shimmering gold every late October.
