Liberty Hall (Frankfort, Kentucky)

Liberty Hall is a historic house museum at 218 Wilkinson Street in Frankfort, Kentucky.

[2] The documented history of Liberty Hall Historic Site can be traced back to 1786, when General James Wilkinson purchased much of the land that is downtown Frankfort.

Wilkinson laid out the town, naming the streets for friends, famous people and places, and himself.

Wilkinson sold the tract that includes Liberty Hall to Frankfort resident Andrew Holmes.

Brown began construction of a home on the property shortly after purchasing it, though he was often away on government business in Philadelphia, then the capital of the United States.

Constructed in the Greek Revival style, the Orlando Brown House was built by local contractor Harrison Blanton.
