Dr. Thomas Hunt Morgan House

The Dr. Thomas Hunt Morgan House is a historic 1860s residence in downtown Lexington, Kentucky, stearded by the Blue Grass Trust for Historic Preservation. The property takes its name from Dr. Thomas Hunt Morgan, Kentucky's first Nobel Prize laureate, a pioneering geneticist whose work transformed modern biology. Situated at 210 North Broadway and currently home to the Lexington History Museum, the house represents a significant chapter in both Lexington's social history and the national scientific record. The Blue Grass Trust has managed the property as part of its broader mission of historic preservation in Central Kentucky since 1955, helping to rescue and maintain the building for community and event use. The house's mid-19th century interior, auditorium, and historic grounds offer a distinctive setting for gatherings that call for a sense of place and architectural character.
