The Lindsey family owned the home for the next 100 years until it was rescued from demolition and purchased by the Commonwealth of Kentucky in 1965. The first floor is furnished with antiques and reproductions to reflect its original 19th century decor and is open to the public for tours and state meetings. Business officials from all across Kentucky come to the Vest-Lindsey House to meet. The charming home provides atmosphere away from the hectic pace of the office. The family and formal dining rooms on the first floor are open to the public for conferences and accommodate up to 25 guests.
Groups are responsible for providing their own refreshments.
A list of local caterers is available, and guests have free use of a large kitchen in the basement, which is fully equipped with fine china and utensils. Community and service groups may use Vest-Lindsey's facilities when it is available. The house is not open to personal entertaining or fund-raising events.
