Farmington Plantation....

We drove to Louisville for a tour of Farmington Plantation. This plantation was owned by the the Speed family. Abraham Lincoln was the roommate of Joshua Speed, the son of the plantation owner. Lincoln visited here before he married Mary Todd. Before the civil war they grew hemp at the plantation which was planted and harvested by slaves. After the war they stopped growing hemp and grew corn and cabbages. Hemp was to hard to harvest.

After a tour of the house the kids made corn husk dolls. Then we went to lunch at Buckhead. I use to love this place when there was one in Lexington. But they were out of the meatloaf I use to like :( After lunch we went to Krispy Kream :) It was a great day, we enjoyed spending it with our friends.
