The Historic Homes Foundation presents three unique properties, each offering a window into a different aspect of Kentucky's past. Explore early 19th century plantation life at Farmington, discover the creative genius of America's greatest inventor at Thomas Edison House and experience the elegance of a Classical Revival mansion with extensive botanical gardens at Whitehall House & Gardens. Chartered in 1957, the Historic Homes Foundation is a non-profit organization. It is the mission of the Foundation to present the history of the Louisville Metropolitan area to the general public through this collection of historically significant properties.
