An Afternoon at the Headley Whitney

Tess Thompson

Fountain in the center of the Marylou Whitney garden.

The Headley Whitney Museum, located just outside of Versailles, Kentucky, is a beautiful home dedicated to the Headley family’s art collection and other local artists’ work. I spent my Sunday afternoon at the museum and while I wasn’t able to get pictures of the art, the Headley Whitney grounds are just as beautiful. You can see the art for yourself at https://www.headley-whitney.org
