FRANKFORT, KY - The Old Governor’s Mansion in Frankfort is being transformed into an “inspired Christmas in a historical setting,” showcasing the talents and creativity of 11 designers from throughout Kentucky.  Presented by Flower Magazine and L.V. Harkness, the mansion will be open to the public for daily tours starting today through Sunday, Dec. 9. 

“The Old Governor’s Mansion holds a particularly special place in my heart because it was our home when Steve was lieutenant governor,” said Mrs. Beshear. “Since that time, the mansion has been beautifully restored and now is the perfect backdrop for Kentucky designers to display their creative and decorative talents. I encourage everyone to visit the mansion during this event and truly experience a beautiful and historical Kentucky Christmas.”
