The Beula C. Nunn Garden

Mary Todd Lincoln House

Beula Nunn, wife of Louie B. Nunn (former Governor of Kentucky),  along with Kentucky Mansions Preservation Foundation, Inc. and the Metropolitan Women's Club of Lexington, was responsible for the preservation and restoration of the Mary Todd Lincoln House.  In June, 1996 the Beula C. Nunn Garden at the Mary Todd Lincoln House was dedicated and opened to the public.  Today the enclosed gardens contain trees, plants, herbs and shrubs that represent what may have been in the gardens at the Todd home in the early nineteenth century.  The gardens are cared for by the Lexington Soil Mates Garden Club and the Bluegrass Herb Guild.
