(Printed verso reads: "My Old Kentucky Home, State Shrine, Bardstown, Kentucky. Federal Hill, known to thousands of visitors all over the world as 'My Old Kentucky Home', was built in 1795 by Judge John Rowan. This stately old mansion is open to the year 'round and it was the setting for many of Foster's beautiful songs of the Old South. In 1852 while a guest here, Stephen Collins Foster, a relative of the Rowans, was inspired to write his immortal song My Old Kentucky Home. This southern hospitality scene shows the main entrance.")
