Fairview stood on the land of Gabriel Slaughter, Governor of Kentucky from 1816 to 1820. The present Carpenter’s Gothic house was the home of Robert E. Coleman, who, along with Crit Davis, was among the first to develop Mercer’s reputation for prizewinning trotters and pacers. William Jennings Bryan was entertained here in the 1890s.
