Beyond the Fence: A Culinary View of Historic Lexington will take you on a captivating journey through Fayette County’s past and present. The world has long been intrigued by the majestic landscapes of Central Kentucky replete with manicured pastures, elegant homes, and iconic fencing….. miles of unique stone, plank, and iron. The book’s 288 pages will provide the reader with a view of life behind the fences and an overview of the rich heritage that has shaped the modern Bluegrass Region.

Pressed between historical vignettes and exquisite photography, Beyond the Fence affords a seasonal view of foods and menus that blend traditional and modern techniques, while offering a glimpse inside some of the area’s most enduring gathering places. Central Baptist Hospital commissioned Marc Manning of Versailles as the book’s photographer and Margaret Lane, a published historian who worked closely with Dr. Thomas Clark for many years, as historical editor.
