Riverview Antiques and Art Show and Sale

October 6-8, 2006
Ironwood Farm

The Pieces and Places of History Antiques and Art Show benefits the Friends of Riverview, the non-profit fundraising arm of Riverview at Hobson Grove. Riverview, built between 1857 - 1872 just across the Barren River from Ironwood Farm, is now a historic house museum interpreting the late Victorian time period in south central Kentucky. The home is considered one of the Commonwealth's best examples of the Italianate style. Proceeds from this event will aid in the operation and continued maintenance of this historic property.

About Ironwood Farm
Historic Ironwood Farm was founded in 1852 by Congressman Joseph Rogers Underwood. While serving in the U.S. House of Representatives, the widowed Underwood met and married Elizabeth Cox, daughter of the Mayor of Georgetown, District of Columbia. Elizabeth and J.R. Underwood built the fine home that now serves as the centerpiece of the farm. In the late 20th century, current owners Charlotte and David Garvin constructed the barn as the nucleus of their thoroughbred horse operation.
