The image is a postcard of the mansion at the My Old Kentucky Home State Park. The mansion, known as Federal Hill, is a historic site located in Bardstown, Kentucky.

The Federal Style mansion was completed in 1818 and was the center of a 1,300-acre plantation owned by Senator John Rowan.
It was dedicated as Kentucky's first state park in 1923 after the popularity of the song "My Old Kentucky Home" increased throughout the U.S.
The song, written by Stephen Foster, was inspired by the novel Uncle Tom's Cabin and became the state song of Kentucky in 1928.
Today, visitors can tour the fully restored, 200-year-old mansion with guides in period clothing.
