If you've visited Lexington, perhaps you arrived via US 60 on the west side of town. Close to Keeneland is Castle Post, which looks a bit out of place in the Kentucky countryside, but is nonetheless an important part of our community. Finally, there's a video which will give you a looksee inside. Enjoy!
