The Liberty Hall Tour is $9 per adult, $4 per child (ages 6-18), and free for children under the age of 5.
Life & Liberty Tour
John and Margaretta Brown were active participants in the new United States. As a member of the Congress, John worked to secure Kentucky statehood and became one of the state’s first two U.S. senators. Magaretta embodied the principles of Republican Motherhood. Although they voiced opposition to slavery, the Browns' affluent lifestyle depended on the labor of men and women they enslaved. In this interactive tour, visitors will probe these issues by examining objects and excerpts from Brown family writings. $10 per person.
