About:
About White Hall was the home of Cassius Marcellus Clay: 19th century emancipationist, newspaper publisher, Minister to Russia, and friend to Abraham Lincoln. Story White Hall State Historic Site was the home of Cassius Marcellus Clay, 19th century emancipationist, politician, newspaper publisher, Ambassador to Russia, and friend to Abraham Lincoln. Clay’s daughter, Laura Clay, lived at White Hall and was politically active for women’s suffrage and state’s rights. In 1920 she became the first woman nominated for President of the United States by a major political party. The restored Italianate mansion was built in 1798 and remodeled in the 1860s. General Green Clay built the original brick Georgian-style home called Clermont. Cassius M. Clay inherited the house upon his father’s passing. He and his wife Mary Jane Warfield Clay built the new addition that more than doubled the size of the house and added such modern amenities as indoor plumbing and central heating. Mission White Hall State Historic Site is a historic site under the governance of the Kentucky Department of Parks and the Commonwealth of Kentucky dedicated to the preservation and public interpretation of the site. White Hall State Historic Site seeks to accomplish its mission by preserving, interpreting, collecting, researching, and studying historical material relating to the site, Cassius M. Clay, and Clay’s family, and by providing educational services to diverse audiences through tours, programs, and special events.
