ABOUT OUR GIFT/BOOKSTORE
Established in 1996, we feature distinctive gifts, jewelry, home accessories, Keeneland
logo jackets and vests, Kentucky crafts, museum authorized gifts, and a carefully chosen
selection of equine and history books displayed upstairs in a Victorian setting.
LOCATION:
Located midway between Frankfort and Lexington Kentucky on both I-64 exit 65 and U.S.
421. Store is at 124 E. Railroad Street ("Main St.") in historic Midway, KY, 15 miles west of
Lexington and I-75. Midway, Ky., is in the Woodford County Midway Historic District and is
listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Downtown is also zoned a Woodford
County Historic District. Visit our historic and scenic downtown where an active railroad
has steamed down Railroad Street since 1833.
OUR VICTORIAN BUILDING:
The brick two story commercial building with Italianate architectural details is believed to
have been built about 1880-82 by Henry Baxter Russell for his Central Saloon. He
operated both a saloon and coffee house here until about 1915, with living quarters
above. An African American organization, the Sons and Daughters of Relief, then
purchased the building and operated a bar/restaurant downstairs and meeting room
upstairs. The building is listed with the Blue Grass Trust and National Register of Historic
Places (as part of the Midway Historic District).
