Governor William Owsley House, also known as Pleasant Retreat, is a historic house located in Lancaster, Kentucky on U.S. 27. The house was the home of Kentucky Governor William Owsley. The property has been restored and is now a museum.

History

The three-story Federal-style house was built in 1804.[1]

Current

The house was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[2]

In April 1994, the Garrard County Historical Society purchased the property; and after restoration, Pleasant Retreat opened as a museum in June 1997.[3] It is now (2021) currently owned by a Garrard County local couple. They own the restaurant next to it, they have murder mysteries and hold teas at the mansion to uphold its classic and historic background.[4]
