Visitors to The Filson's headquarters and its website can enjoy a variety of exhibits. A tour of The Filson's headquarters in the Ferguson Mansion and its museum in the Ferguson carriage house gives the visitor the opportunity to view a beautiful Beaux Arts style house dating from the early twentieth century, one of the best portrait collections in the region, and exhibits drawn from other areas of The Filson's collection. If you can't actually visit or want to prepare for a visit, there are two options on the website for virtual tours of The Filson and Ferguson Mansion. Also available on the website are three digital exhibits regarding frontier Kentucky and Ohio Valley history, Abraham Lincoln and Kentucky, and Lewis and Clark's Kentucky connections.
