Treasures of the Track Tour

This 90-minute tour offers guests an opportunity to experience more of the story of Keeneland, which is world famous for its Thoroughbred racing and auctions, but also celebrates and preserves rich chapters of Kentucky history.

The tour begins at the Keeneland Welcome Center, where a shuttle will take you to a few locations on the property that are important in Keeneland history:

- Keene family cemetery, where generations of the family including Keeneland namesake John O. "Jack" Keene, are buried.

- The tour continues with a visit to the award-winning Keeneland Library, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary in 2019 as a public research institution and is proud to be one of the world's largest repositories of information related to the Thoroughbred.

- This tour also includes a visit by the stable area, Sales Pavilion, and Administrative Offices.
