From the archives: Horse Farm Scrapbook (1940–1984)
Flip through history with the Horse Farm Scrapbook, spanning 1940 to 1984. It includes a feature from the September 13, 1941 edition of the Saturday Evening Post, whose cover showcased two very special Kentuckians — Man o’ War and his groom, William Harbut, at Faraway Farm. You’ll also find stories from the Lexington Leader, photographs, postcards, and even an article about Man o’ War’s funeral service (which was held at 3pm on a Tuesday, in case you were curious!)
