Description

In 1799, Revolutionary War veteran General Green Clay finished construction on a stately Georgian mansion he named Clermont. The house was a statewide symbol of prosperity, housing the farm of one of the crucial largest landowners within the Commonwealth. Renamed White Hall by Cassius Marcellus Clay and renovated by his wife, Mary Jane Warfield Clay, it remained within the circle of relatives for generations. Here Cassius Clay was referred to as the “Lion of White Hall,” penning his fiery speeches against slavery and launching his tumultuous career as an outspoken statesman. After years of restoration, White Hall was a state historic web site in 1971. Now, A History of White Hall offers a detailed look within this expertly preserved structure and the individuals who contributed to shaping its fascinating history.
