INTRODUCTION

At the end of a short winding country road in Madison County, Kentucky, on the southeastern edge of the Bluegrass Region, past gently rolling farmland, an impressive brick Italianate mansion seems to appear out of nowhere. By day, basking in the warmth of the sun, it is a towering building full of historical and architectural wonders, beckoning guests to step inside. By night, amid a crawling fog, it is a mysterious and slightly sinister structure luring the curious and thrill seeking. Once a home and showplace for a great family and now a tribute to a patriarch and a lifestyle long gone, this is White Hall. This is its story.
