    Federal Hill, the home of John Rowan, jurist and congressman, is located in Bardstown, Kentucky. Construction of the Georgian-style mansion began in 1795 and was completed in 1818. Undocumented legend maintains that the house may have been inspiration for Stephen Foster’s song, “My Old Kentucky Home,” published in 1852.
